Abstract
Introduction: study evaluated the cytotoxicity and bioactivity of commonly-used calcium silicate-based cements in a culture of stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs). Materials and Methods: ), where cells were exposed to 1:4 diluted extract on days 1 and 7. Minimum Essential Eagle's Medium alpha modification was used as control. ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test were used to compare the different cements at each experimental time point. Results: <0.05). Conclusion: All evaluated calcium silicate-based cements demonstrated cell viability and bioactivity, suggesting that these (bio)materials may be indicated for use in regenerative dentine-pulp complex procedures.
