ABSTRACT
Introduction : The purpose of this invitro study was to evaluate the post obturation fracture resistance of endodontically
treated teeth obturated with new obturating systems such as Realseal system, GuttaFlow obturation system, conventional
lateral compaction technique and Microseal obturation system.
Materials and Methods : Fifty extracted single rooted teeth were selected and sectioned at the CEJ. The root canals
were instrumented using EasyRace files. The teeth were randomly divided into 5 groups of 10 teeth each. Group I
served as negative control and was instrumented and not obturated. The other groups were obturated with new
obturating systems. The specimens were evaluated for vertical fracture resistance using Instron universal testing machine.
Results : According to the study it was found that the Resilon with Realseal displayed higher mean fracture load in
comparison to other experimental groups.
Conclusion : Obturation of roots with a resin based obturation material increased the fracture resistance of root
canal filled tooth to vertical fracture.

Results :
Compressive load at max compressive
extension is shown in table 1. Due to unusual
distribution of the data, nonparametric tests were
applied to check the statistical significance between
the groups. According to the results (graph 1), group
II showed the maximum resistance to fracture
(median value-259.425) and group IVshowed the
minimum resistance to fracture (median value28.15).The root canals obturated with Resilon and
