Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the biocompatibility of AH 26, AH Plus, Pulp Canal Sealer, Adseal-1 and Adseal-2(newly developed resin-based sealers) using subcutaneous implantation test. 64 Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Three rats were used for each sealer for every experimental period (1, 2, 4, 12 weeks). The teflon tubes (5mm length, 1.5mm diameter) were washed with ethanol and distilled water and autoclaved. After anethesia four subcutaneous pockets (depth > 10mm) were prepared in each animal.(omitted)
