An empty cavity served as the control. Standardized bone cavities were prepared in the femur and filled with the test materials. Histological evaluation was performed at 7, 30, and 90 days (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 3) by assessing inflammatory cell infiltration, collagen fiber formation, hard tissue barrier formation, abscess formation, and material polarization.

Resin-based sealer and MTA Fillapex showed significantly higher inflammatory cell infiltration, giant cell presence, and abscess formation. At 30 and 90 days, calcium hydroxide-based, calcium silicate-based, and silicone-based sealers, along with GP, demonstrated reduced inflammation, improved collagen organization, and advanced hard tissue barrier formation. In contrast, resin-based sealer and MTA Fillapex exhibited persistent inflammation and delayed bone healing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Bone tissue response to endodontic obturation materials was material- and time-dependent. Although all tested materials are routinely used in clinical practice, calcium hydroxide-based, calcium silicate-based, and silicone-based sealers, along with GP, exhibited a more favorable biological response over time. The comparatively prolonged inflammation observed with resin-based sealer and MTA Fillapex underscores the need for careful material selection and controlled obturation, particularly in cases with periapical involvement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jcde.jcde_37_26","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,30]],"date-time":"2026-03-30T06:00:08Z","timestamp":1774850408000},"page":"392-398","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Histopathological evaluation of bone tissue response to endodontic sealers and gutta-percha using an intraosseous implantation model in Wistar rats"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"K.
