Popis: Aim To compare the bacterial leakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and biodentine when used as an apical plug in immature permanent teeth. Materials and methods It was a randomized double-blind in vitro study. A total of 60 teeth were divided into 2 groups of MTA and biodentine, which were further divided into 2 subgroups (n = 30) each based on the apical plug thickness of 2 and 4 mm. The teeth were cleaned and shaped; root-end resection and canal preparation were done. Mineral trioxide aggregate and biodentine were mixed and filled as apical plugs of 2 or 4 mm thickness. Enterococcus faecalis was used to assess the bacterial leakage of the filled samples. Statistical analysis The comparison between the two groups was done by Chi-square test for categorical data.
