AB  - OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of humidity on the 
      intra-tubular penetration, bond strength and failure mode associated with AH Plus 
      (AH) and MTA Fillapex (MTAF) sealers. METHODS: For this analysis, an apparatus 
      was created to maintain the humidity of the specimens. Sixty bovine single-rooted 
      teeth with similar anatomy were used. The teeth were randomly divided into 4 
      groups (n=15): G1 - AH/moist, G2 - AH/dry, G3 - MTAF/moist and G4 - MTAF/dry. A 
      laser scanning confocal microscope was used to analyse the penetrability of the 
      sealers into the dentinal tubules. A push-out test was performed to examine the 
      diameter and height of the root canal fillings. The failure mode was analysed 
      under a stereomicroscope at 40x magnification. The data were submitted to 
      non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's tests. The significance level was 
      P<0.05. RESULTS: The MTAF sealer exhibited higher intra-tubular penetration 
      values compared to AH Plus (P<0.05) sealer. AH Plus showed the highest bond 
      strength values. Regarding the type of failure mode, a majority of cohesive 
      failures was identified, irrespective of the moisture conditions, which were not 
      statistically significant among the sealers (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Humidity 
      conditions did not influence the intra-tubular penetration, bond strength and 
      failure mode of AH Plus and MTAF sealers.
