Root canal therapy was performed on posterior teeth in monkeys using gutta-percha
and various sealers for obturation. The access openings were restored with zinc oxide-eugenol.
Seventy-two hours later, the temporary restorations were removed and the coronal openings
exposed to the oral environment for 1 wk. Following removal, the teeth were placed
in dye and cleared to allow visualization of dye penetration. The results showed the
presence of dye in teeth in all groups with no significant differences among the groups.
