Cytotoxicity assessment of endodontic sealers: metabolic activity, morphology a...
Tavares, Inês Moura; Ribeiro, Ilda P.; Pais, Cláudia; Laranjo, Mafalda; Jardim, Ana; Mascarenhas, Alexandra; Zuzarte, Mónica; Cardoso, MiguelIntroduction: Endodontic treatment aims to eliminate infection of the root canals and fill the dental pulp space, being, the obturation of root canals an important step. The study of the toxicity/biocompatibility of the sealers used to fill the root canals is crucial since they are applied into direct contact with periradicular tissues.There are several types of sealers, categorized according to their main chem...
