EndodonticsThe purpose of root canal sealer is to fill the space between solid core material and the pulp canal walls. Root canal sealers serve to: 1) Fill irregularities and accessory canals not occupied by gutta-percha, 2) Create intimate adaptation between core material and canal walls, 3) Provide antimicrobial action in residual bacteria, 4) Seal dentinal tubules to prevent bacterial penetration, 5) Act as lubricant during gutta-percha placement. While sealers may have some biological properties, their primary function is mechanical - filling voids and creating hermetic seal around the core material.
