Physicochemical, cytotoxicity and in vivo biocompatibility of a high-plasticity calcium-silicate based material.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the physicochemical properties, the cytotoxicity and in vivo biocompatibility of MTA Repair HP (MTA HP) and White MTA (WMTA). The setting time, flow, radiopacity and water solubility were assessed. To the cytotoxicity assay, primary human osteoblast cells were exposed to several dilutions of both materials eluates. MTT assay, apoptosis assay and cell adhesion assay were performed. The in vivo biocompatibility was evaluated through histological analysis using different staining techniques. No differences were observed between MTA HP and WMTA for setting time, radiopacity, solubility and water absorption (P > 0.05). However, MTA HP showed a significantly higher flow when compared to WMTA (P < 0.05). Cell viability results revealed that the extracts of
