Abstract

I. Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare in vivo the biocompatibility of new calcium phosphate-based root canal sealers(CAPSEAL I, CAPSEAL II) with another type of commercially available calcium phosphate sealer (Apatite Root Sealer type I, Apatite Root Sealer type II) and zinc oxide-eugenol-based sealer (Pulp Canal Sealer EWT) after implantaion in rat subcutaneous tissue. II. Materials and Methods 64 Sprague-Dawley rats were used. There were five groups of three animals each for experimental period of 1, 2, 4, and 12 weeks. The teflon tubes, 5mm in length with an inner diameter of 1.5mm, were washed with ethanol and distilled weter and autoclaved.(omitted)
