The main role of the apical sealing provided by endodontic cements is to prevent marginal infiltration of the root canals, contributing to the success of the endodontic treatment. The current work aims to evaluate the infiltration of different endodontic cements in simulated canals. Data collection was exploratory, quali-quantitative, carried out in 40 simulated channels, where they were instrumented with a Logic 2 rotary system, irrigated with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and filled with different cements, paying attention to the spatulation time, execution of the obturation technique and root canal irrigation volume. Where they were divided into G1 (n= 10) – Endofill, G2 – Sealer 26, G3 – Pulp Canal Sealer and G4 – Mta Fillapex. The results achieved in the research show that groups G1 and G3 presented greater infiltration of the filling cement, compared to groups 2 and 4. Based on this, it is concluded that Endofill and Pulp Canal Sealer cements present greater infiltration in the root canal system compared to cements Pulp Canal Sealer and MTA Fillapex.
