Calcium chloride ‐enriched calcium aluminate cement promotes in vitro osteogenesis

ConclusionFor CAC with the lower CaCl2 content, the use of Bi2O3 was detrimental for osteoblastic cell survival and differentiation compared to ZnO, while CAC with the higher CaCl2 content supported the acquisition of the osteogenic cell phenotype in vitro regardless of the radiopacifier used. Thus, CAC with 10% CaCl2 would potentially promote bone repair in the context of endodontic therapies.
