Calcium silicate cement like mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine are known for their biocompatibility and are effectively used as retrograde filling materials. During their placement, the materials interact with oral tissue fluids like saliva and blood, so the aim of the present study was to assess the effect of distilled water, saline, and blood on the surface microstructure and compressive strength of MTA and Biodentine.
