Effect of Calcium Silicate Based Root Canal Medicament on Inflammatory Mediators

"The samples were taken from the interstitial fluid of the apical tissues using 3 paper points before medicament placement.~Calcium hydroxide based medicament was placed in the canals using a file at a distance of 1 or 2 mm less than the root canal length.~At the second appointment, medicamentswere removed, and second samplingwas performed using the same method.~The RANKL/OPG, TNF alpha, TGF beta, PGE2 levels were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and their ratio was calculated."
