Popis: IntroductionThe purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the physicochemical and biological properties of a traditional calcium hydroxide-based cement (Cal) to a novel endodontic material based on calcium silicate strategy in premixed formulation (Bio-C).MethodsCrystalline structure evaluation and pH analysis were performed at different time periods (3–168 h). Contact angle, surface roughness, solubility and flowability of both materials were also investigated. The antibacterial activity of each material was assessed using a direct contact test against Enterococcus faecalis (E.faecalis), and the cytotoxicity was performed by using periodontal ligament cells. Statistical analysis was accomplished using one-way analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis tests.ResultsAn alkaline pH was observed in both the tested materials. Higher pH values were attained in Cal compared to Bio-C (p
