Alkalizing activity. pH profiles of the solutions. All the calcium silicate-based sealers showed a rapid initial rise, on day 3 followed by a decline on day 30. Control group and epoxy resin-based sealer remained near 7.2. AP: AH Plus™; ES: EndoSequence® BC Sealer™; PR: ProRoot® ES; BR: BioRoot™ RCS.
