The teeth were instrumented with Endosequence files to 0.06 taper #35 file. The teeth were divided into two groups and group I was obturated with Gutta percha and AH-Plus, group II with Resilon-Epiphany sealer. The teeth were stored at 37 for two weeks. Retreatment was done with R-Endo files and the teeth were sectioned. The amount of residual filling material was analysed under stereomicroscope at coronal, middle and apical thirds. The data was statistically analysed. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:200%"><b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;&#10;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">Results:</span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"> Residual filling material was observed in both the groups. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:200%"><b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;&#10;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">Conclusion:</span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">&nbsp; The teeth obturated with Resilon-Epiphany showed cleaner walls compared to teeth obturated with Gutta-Percha and AH-Plus.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
