Objective This study investigated the short‐term subcutaneous tissue reaction and biomineralization ability of two epoxy‐based root canal sealers containing calcium hydroxide ( MBP and MBP c) and P ro R oot MTA . Materials and methods Polyethylene tubes containing the materials were implanted into the dorsal connective tissue of W istar rats ( n = 52) for 7 or 30 days; empty implanted tubes served as controls. Specimens were stained with hematoxylin–eosin and von K ossa stain or left unstained for observation under polarized light. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations of all tissue reactions were performed. One‐way anova and the K ruskal– W allis test were used for statistical analysis ( P < 0.05). Results No significant differences were observed among the groups. All three materials induced mild‐to‐moderate tissue reactions at 7 days, which decreased over time. Dystrophic mineralization and birefringent structures were observed only in the P ro R oot MTA ® group. Conclusion Both MBP and MBP c appear to be biocompatible but do not stimulate biomineralization.
