The purpose of this study was to compare the level of apical leakage between canals filled with gutta-percha/AH Plus (GP) and the Resilon/Epiphany System (RES), when submitted to two filling techniques, and to observe, through the use of Optic Microscopy (OM), the adaptation of these materials to the dentinal walls in carried through transversal cuts to 4 mm of the apex. For the evaluation of leakage, seventy extracted human teeth were instrumented and randomly divided into 4 experimental groups in accordance with the material and technique used (lateral condensation and Hybrid technique - HT), and two control groups (positive and negative). After 7 days in an oven (37° C, humidity of 100%), the teeth were immersed in Indian ink and cleared. Leakage was measured by the NIH imageJ program. The exact Fisher test was used to make the comparison between the non-leakage percentages and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test to measure the leakage when there was any. The value p<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. With regard to the presence of leakage, there was no difference between the filling techniques (p>0.05), but there was a statistically significant difference when RES was compared with GP (p<0.05), which leaked more than RES. With RES, leakage was confined to the apical third and HT could be used to thermo-plasticize RES with satisfactory results. It was observed through the analysis in OM of 20 remaining teeth, filled in the same way that the experimental groups (5 teeth for each group), that the RES presented many areas mismatch between the material and the dentinal walls, what it would justify occurred leaking with this material.
