Abstract: PURPOSE: To compare the effect of calcium hydroxide in different position on pH and inflammation factor expression of periapical osteoblasts. METHODS: 140 sterilized single-rooted human teeth models were randomly divided into 6 experiment groups and one control group: Group 1-3:calcium hydroxide paste was placed in the apical half of root canal, the upper half of root canal and the pulp champer; Group 4-6:Apexcal was placed in the apical half of root canal, the upper half of root canal and the pulp champer; Group 7: the control group without medication. 10 teeth of each group were placed in P.e suspension, the IL-6 and TNF-α expression of MC3T3-E1 was tested at 3 d and 7 d. The other teeth of each group were placed in distilled water, and the pH in periapical region was tested at 3, 7, 14 and 21 d. SPSS 13.0 software package was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Calcium hydroxide placed in different position of the root canal increased periapical pH value and reached its peak at 14 d. The group in which calcium hydroxide paste was placed in pulp chamber gained lower pH level than other experimental groups. IL-6, TNF-α expression of MC3T3-E1 pretreated by P.e suspension of experimental groups was significantly reduced compared with control group, and there was no significant difference between the experimental groups. CONCLUSIONS: Calcium hydroxide placed in different position of the root canal could increase periapical pH value and reduce IL - 6, TNF-α expression of periapical osteoblasts.
