Background: Root canal treatment success relies heavily on effective obturation to seal the root canal system. Conventional resin-based sealers, such as AH Plus, have been widely used, but bioceramic sealers have emerged as a promising alternative due to their superior bioactivity, biocompatibility, and sealing properties. Despite their advantages, comparative clinical studies on their effectiveness remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of bioceramic sealers in enhancing root canal treatment outcomes compared to resinbased sealers. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 100 patients requiring primary endodontic treatment, randomly assigned to two groups: the experimental group (n=50) used a bioceramic sealer with the single-cone obturation (SCO) technique, while the control group (n=50) used AH Plus sea..
