The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of root canal sealers. The direct coni test (DCT) was used to assess the antibacterial properties of AH plus, Apexit Plus, Epiphany SE, and RoekoSeal when in contact with Enterococcus faecalis. The materials were examined immediately after setting and 1, 2, 7, and 14 days after aging in phosphate-buffered-saline. Statistical analysis with two-way analysis of variance, one-way analysis of variance, and Tukey multiple comparison was applied to the data. Apexit Plus had a short-term antibacterial effect of 1 day on E. faecalis, whereas Epiphany SE enhanced bacterial growth for at least 7 days. AH plus and RoekoSeal were ineffective.
