Different techniques of apicectomy, retrograde preparation and root obturation were evaluated through an experimental in vitro study of apical sealing capability. Sixtyfour permanent single-rooted teeth were endodontically treated. The roots were then submitted to a root-end resection at a distance of 3 mm from the dental apex. The roots were randomly divided into two groups: 1) root-end resection in 45°; 2) root-end resection in 90°. Two types of instruments to retrograde preparation were used, nº 2 carbide bur and ultrasonic retro-tip S12/90D. Then, the entire external root surfaces of the specimens were covered with two-coats of nail polish except for the sectioned surface. Two types of retrograde filling materials were used: I) mineral three-oxide aggregate (MTA) and II) amalgam (AA). After the root-end fillings were made, the specimens were immediately immersed in a 0. 2% rhodamine B solution during 24 hours. After that, the specimens were washed in tap water for the same time and dried in environment temperature. Slices 2mm far from apex were cut and then photographed to analyze apical dye penetration and staining area (mm2) using a software (Image Tool 3. 0) in a personal computer. The results were analyzed as a ratio of dye penetration, to eliminate possible influence of differences between specimens root sizes. Data were submitted to statistical analysis using ANOVA test and post-hock LSD test, with significance of 95% (α = 0. 05).Correlation between dependent and independent variables, as between the the two examiners, Pearson’s test were assessed. None group was capable to completely seal apical stainig. Some combinations of the techniques used showed better results (p<0. 05), generally when the apicectomy was made at 90º by ultrasonic retro-tip and using MTA. Within the limitations of this study, it was concluded that the most important factor in dye penetration seems to be the retrobturator material, followed by the angle of apicectomy and retrograded instrument, respectively.
