The creation of metallic matrices, which were used in the fabrication of the impressions, was done using a light-bodied silicone-based impression medium. Using an aluminium step-wedge, the radiopacity of the NPB sealer and the ERB sealer was assessed in accordance with international standards. The optical density was measured using a sample of enamel, dentin, and aluminium of the appropriate thickness, all measuring 1 mm thick.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>The radiopacity of the ERB sealer was 2.37, with a minimum value of 179 and a maximum value of 215. The radiopacity value for the NPB sealer was 3.47, with a minimum value of 185 and a maximum value of 255.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Within the limits of the study, the NPB root canal sealers has better radiopacity than the ERB sealers. It has radiopacity values of the sealers are within the ADA/ISO recommendations.</p> <p><strong>Clinical </strong><strong>Significance: </strong>The radiopacity of the NPB sealer can be compared with other commercially available sealers for in vivo applications.</p> <p>Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.22 (Special Issue) 2023 p.63-66</p>}, number={20}, journal={Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science}, author={Shetty, Chitharanjan and Shetty, Aditya and Kini, Sudarshan and Shetty, Veena and Dsouza, Neevan}, year={2023}, month={May}, pages={63–66} }
