Following access opening and biomechanical preparation, the samples were divided for ICM placement into two groups (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 40): Groups 1 and 2 with and without cementum. Each group was further subdivided into four subgroups (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 10) \u2013 A: propylene glycol (control), B: calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n ), C: doxycycline + chlorhexidine (CHX), and D: modified triple antibiotic paste (MTAP). The coronal and apical openings were sealed, and the transradicular release of medicaments in simulated body fluid was measured using UV-visible spectrophotometric analysis on days 1, 7, and 14.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Statistical Analysis:<\/jats:title>\n \n One-way analysis of variance and Tukey\u2019s\n post hoc<\/jats:italic>\n test (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Group 2 showed the highest drug release compared to Group 1. In both the groups, Subgroup D (MTAP) showed the highest drug release, followed by Subgroup C (doxycycline + CHX) and B (Ca(OH)\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n ), whereas the control group showed the least release at all time intervals.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n MTAP exhibited the highest drug release both in the presence and in the absence of cementum, followed by doxycycline + CHX, and the absence of cementum enhanced the release of medicaments. Thus, these medicaments can be effectively used in cases of compromised root cementum, such as endo-perio or periapical lesions.<\/jats:p>\n
