  1. XOne way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc were used for the effects of obturation methods on PBS at each root level (p < 0.05). Different superscript uppercase letters indicate a significant difference between obturation methods in each root canal level
  2. YRepeated ANOVA and Bonferroni pairwise comparison were used for the effects of root levels on PBS in each obturation method (p < 0.05). Different superscript lowercase letters indicate significant difference between root levels in each obturation method
