Table 1 Numbers of leaking samples and mean intervals until leakage.

	N	Turbidity n (%)	Interval until leakage (days)
	N	Turbidity n (%)	Mean	SD
A. Canason	22	15 (68.2)	5.8^*	5.7
B. AH 26	22	7 (31.8)	13.3^**	9.2
C. Well-Root ST	22	2 (9.1)	1.5	0.7
^* Significant difference between groups A and C in terms of interval until leakage (=0.035); ^** significant difference between groups B and C in terms of interval until leakage (=0.012). SD – standard deviation. Sealers used in this study: Canason, Canason zinc oxide eugenol root-canal filling cement; AH 26, AH 26 epoxy resin; Well-Root ST, Well-Root ST antibacterial bioceramic paste.
