The subcutaneous implantation of Teflon tubes as carriers for endodontic materials was evaluated for its suitability as a method for the testing of the biocompatibility of these materials. Three representative types of root canal sealers were used. Tubes filled with sealers were placed in the subcutaneous tissue of 143 rats. The observation periods were 14, 30, 90, and 180 days. The occurrence of acute and chronic inflammatory' cells, presence of material in macro phages, foreign body giant cells, and vessels, demonstrated that all sealers were irritating and resorbable. The severity of the tissue response varied widely within each group. It was concluded that the implantation method was practical for the qualitative evaluation of endodontic materials, but that a ranking of biocompat- ibility of materials would be possible only for materials of considerably different toxicity.
