The cytotoxicity of three resin-based root canal sealers (AH26, AH-Plus, Topseal) was evaluated in vitro. The experiments included two cell lines, L929 mouse skin fibroblasts and RPC-C2A rat pulp cells. The cytotoxicity was assessed by sulforodamine B (SRB) colorimetric assay and hemocytometer viabl...
