— 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 viable cell counting after 24‐ and 48‐h exposure. AH26 had a severe cytotoxic effect whilst Topseal and AH‐Plus showed a markedly lower toxic influence on the cells during the experimental period.
