Objective: This study evaluated the response of apical and periapical tissues of dogs' teeth with pulp vitality after root canal filling with the endodontic sealers Sealapex Xpress and Real Seal XT.
Methods: Thirty-eight root canals with vital pulp from dogs' premolars were used. After instrumentation, the canals were filled with Sealapex Xpress and gutta-percha (group SX/GP, n = 16) or Real Seal XT and Resilon cones (group RS/R, n = 22). The animals were killed after 90 days, and the teeth with surrounding tissues were subjected to histotechnical processing. Hematoxylin-eosin-stained sections were examined by conventional light microscopy for a quantitative histopathologic analysis (sealing of apical opening by newly formed mineralized tissue [biological sealing], inflammatory cell infiltrate, root and bone tissue resorption), according to a scoring system. The subsequent sections were evaluated by immunohistochemistry for identification of mineralization markers (osteopontin, alkaline phosphatase, and RUNX2). Data were analyzed by nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test (α = 0.05).
Results: Complete biological sealing was observed in 50% and 22.7% of the specimens of groups SX/GP and RS/R, respectively. Partial biological sealing was observed in 25% and 54.6% and absence of sealing in 25% and 22.7% of the specimens of groups SX/GP and RS/R, respectively. There were no significant differences (P > .05) between the groups for the scores attributed to the histopathologic parameters. Positive staining for osteopontin, alkaline phosphatase, and RUNX2 was observed in both groups, especially in the periodontal ligament.
Conclusions: Sealapex Xpress and RealSeal XT feature tissue compatibility in vivo and allow for sealing of apical opening by deposition of mineralized tissue.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the M1 and M2 macrophage modulation after stimuli with different materials used during endodontic treatment. In bone marrow-derived macrophage cell culture, from males C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) mice, gene expression analysis of markers to M1 and M2 macrophages was performed by qRT-PCR (Cxcl10, CxCL9, iNOS, Arg1, Chil3, Retnla and MRC1) and cytokine quantification by Luminex® (GM-CSF, IL-10, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α) after exposure to the five endodontic sealers: AH Plus, Sealapex Xpress, Endosequence BC Sealer, BioRoot RCS and a calcium hydroxide-based paste. For normal values, ANOVA test was used, followed by Tukey post-test.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the subcutaneous response induced by Roeko Guttaflow2 (RG), Sealapex Xpress (SX), AH Plus (AHP) sealers.
Methods: 100 BALB/c mice received implants in the subcutaneous tissue with the tested materials (10 animals per period for each evaluated sealer) and were evaluated after different experimental periods (7, 21 and 63 days), in each animal was placed a tube, the control group was an empty tube. Histological analysis evaluated semi-quantitatively the inflammatory infiltration, collagen fiber formation and tissue thickness.

Objectives: The objective of the present study is to evaluate the in vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo biocompatibility of two novel endodontic sealers: RealSeal XT1 and Sealapex Xpress on the subcutaneous connective tissue of mice.
Materials And Methods: The cytotoxicity was assessed by cell viability using the MTT assay (one-way ANOVA), trypan blue test (Mann-Whitney) and cell apoptosis by flow cytometer. For the subcutaneous study, polyethylene tubes filled with the sealers were implanted in 70 BALB/c mice: 6 experimental groups (n = 10/group) and 2 control groups with empty tubes (n = 5/group).
