Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cellular compatibility of five endodontic sealers in the first 24 h after mixing. Specimens of N2, Endomethasone, Apexit, AH Plus, and Ketac Endo were extracted with cell culture medium 0, 1, 5, and 24 h after mixing. Eluates were tested for cytotoxicity with immortal 3T3 cells and primary human periodontal ligament fibroblasts using XTT-assays. Data were analyzed for statistically significant differences by means of Dunnett's t tests (p < 0.05). All extracts of N2 completely inhibited cell metabolism (p < 0.05). Similar effects were provoked by the first three eluates of Endomethasone, but the 24-h extract irritated cells significantly less (p < 0.05). Severe cytotoxicity was also observed with all Ketac Endo extracts (p < 0.05). A significant inhibition of mitochondrial activity was induced by the first (3T3) or the first and second eluate (periodontal ligament fibroblasts) of AH Plus (p < 0.05). The subsequent eluates of this sealer and all extracts of Apexit did not reveal any cytotoxic potency.
