Biocompatibility analysis in subcutaneous tissue and physico-chemical analysis of pre-mixed calcium silicate-based sealers.

Objectives: To evaluate the biocompatibility, physical and chemical properties of three pre-mixed calcium silicate-based sealers and an epoxy resin-based material were assessed. Pre-mixed sealers supposedly obtain water from the root canal moist to hydrate and set.

Materials And Methods: Polyethylene tubes were filled with the materials Bio-C Sealer Ion+, Bio-C Sealer, EndoSequence BC Sealer and AH Plus Jet, or left empty and surgically implanted in the subcutaneous tissue of Wistar rats.

Antimicrobial Activity of Calcium Silicate-Based Dental Materials: A Literature Review.

Endodontic biomaterials have significantly improved dental treatment techniques in several aspects now that they can be used for vital pulp treatments, as temporary intracanal medication, in definitive fillings, in apical surgeries, and for regenerative procedures. Calcium silicate-based cement is a class of dental material that is used in endodontics in direct contact with the dental structures, connective tissue, and bone. Because the material interacts with biological tissues and stimulates biomineralization processes, its properties are of major importance.
