Introduction: Endodontic treatment seeks to sanitize the root canal system to allow adequate three-dimensional filling, for which plastic materials such as guttapercha are required, associated with endodontic cements with adequate physico-chemical characteristics. Methods: Comparison of the physico-chemical properties hardening and flow time of the AH Plus and Sealer Plus endodontic sealers according to the American Dental Association / American Dental Association Specification 57 for sealing materials. Results: The hardening time of the AH Plus was 1178 minutes and the Sealer Plus was 422 minutes. The AH Plus flow was 3259 millimeters and the Sealer Plus was 3150 millimeters. Conclusions: The AH Plus hardening time was higher when compared to the Sealer Plus cement and there was no statistical difference in the flow between the cements studied.
