Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of thermoplastics, mineral trioxide MTA, and calcium hydroxide synthetics in simulated endosperm defects. A total of 30 patients with matured pulp and apex were included, and an access preparation was made in each tooth with an ISO 3 stainless steel rotator cuff appliance placed. Internal resorption was confirmed through X - ray before the teeth were randomly divided into three groups: Group 1 - thermoplastic Gutta percha, Group 2 - MTA, and Group 3 - calcium hydroxide, with ten teeth in each group. After one week, both radiographic and clinical evaluations were performed to detect signs of infection. The results were statistically significant, showing that MTA and calcium hydroxide exhibited better infection clearance compared to gutta - percha thermoplastic.
