Abstract : Background: Ultrasonic activation (UA) of irrigants have been always studied and proven that it enhances biomechanical preparation. Similarly, it has been demonstrated that ultrasonic activation of sealers produces a more uniform sealer mix, enhancing the obturation quality. Present study aimed to enlighten ultrasonic activation of sealers and its effect on sealer penetration into dentinal tubules.  Methodology: Forty extracted teeth were decoronated with diamond disk and straight handpiece and divided into four groups. Biomechanical preparation was done using Neo Endo S files. After transversely cutting tooth samples, the middle and apical third were evaluated for sealer penetration.  Statistical Analysis: The data were analysed using SPSS Version 23. A p- value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.  Results: Among the groups, teeth that were irrigated with Smear OFF and undergone ultrasonic activation had a higher sealer penetration rate.  Conclusion: The dentinal sealer penetration was better when the bioceramic sealer was used in conjunction with Ultrasonic activation and Smear Off as the final irrigant.
