Fig. 3

Survival of the bacterial challenge (mean number of days resisting the leakage) of E. faecalis strain in a two-chamber model in relation to the mean of the shear bond strength (MPa) in the apical third of the root in the presence (red dots) and absence (blue dots) of the smear layer. Dotted line represents the trend. AH, AH Plus/gutta-percha; RS, RealSeal/Resilon; ER, EndoRez/gutta-percha; MTAF, MTA Fill Apex/gutta-percha
