1. Introduction Hydraulic calcium silicate-based cements (HCSCs) are a material category with applications in many clinical endodontic procedures [1,2,3]. The hydration reaction of calcium silicate, forming calcium silicate hydrate gel and calcium hydroxide, is the principal chemical reaction in these materials [4].

INTRODUCTION Surgical endodontic procedures entail application and direct exposure of materials to host tissue fluids. Materials should remain physically stable but not necessarily inert, as stimulation of healing and antibacterial activity are desirable [1]. The material may induce transient or more long-lasting changes in the local microenvironment; however, the microenvironment can also affect the material [2].
