Tooth root sections were prepared, and artificial perforations were created. Each perforation was filled with either TheraCal PT or Biodentine (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 15 each). Marginal adaptation was inspected under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) at 1000\u00d7 magnification. A universal testing machine measured the PBS. After a week of immersion in distilled water, solubility was determined by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards. Microleakage was evaluated through lateral perforations filled with materials and dyed for penetration testing. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess the data for PBS and microleakage. The solubility and marginal adaptation values were evaluated using an independent\n t<\/jats:italic>\n -test.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Biodentine demonstrated better marginal adaptation than TheraCal PT, which was statistically significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.03). TheraCal PT displayed significantly superior PBS (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.04) compared to Biodentine. Also, TheraCal PT exhibited significantly lower solubility (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001) and microleakage rates (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.013) than Biodentine.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Therefore, based on the constraints of this study, TheraCal PT emerges as a suitable option for perforation repair, potentially serving as a viable alternative to Biodentine.<\/jats:p>\n
