In this study the adverse effects of three calcium hydroxide‐based materials on the behavior of a mixed cell population of human blood monocytes and lymphocytes were analyzed. Cells were maintained either in direct contact with or near to test samples of Sealapex, CRCS and Dycal. The adverse effects of these materials increased in the order given and the differences observed between each material and its respective control, as well as between the materials themselves, were statistically significant.
