In both groups, the mean leakage ratio was decreased cervically.
At level 1, there was no significant difference between group 1 and grpup 2 (p > 0.05).
At level 2 and 3, group 1 showed significantly higher mean leakage ratio than group 2 (p < 0.05). The results suggest that using dentin adhesive system in root canal obturation procedure reduces the apical microleakage.
Group 1. Continuous wave of obturation technique without dentin bonding system.
Group 2. Continuous wave of obturation technique with dentin bonding system.
