This is a comparative study of sealers. Gutta percha is the filling. I don't know what Roth 801 is--probably an old proprietary name--Roth apparently didn't like the first 800 he tried.
Glass ionomer is an interesting material--it chemically bonds to tooth structure. It leaks too, as do all the sealers I've seen tested. This paper seems to measure inflammation rather than leakage.
