Ex-vivo evaluation of intratubular antibacterial activity and biocompatibility of two hydraulic calcium silicate-based endodontic sealers

Key Points

• To evaluate the antibacterial activity and biocompatibility of two hydraulic calcium silicate-based endodontic sealers.
• Ex-vivo assessments were conducted on two types of sealers.
• Antibacterial activity was tested against specific bacterial strains.
• Biocompatibility was evaluated using standard assays.
• Both sealers demonstrated similar levels of antibacterial effectiveness.
• Bacterial viability was found to be greater in the coronal region.
