Four groups were treated with double antibiotic paste (DAP) at concentrations of 500 mg ml<sup>−1</sup> or 1 mg ml<sup>−1</sup> with or without EDTA. The other two groups were treated with EDTA only or received no treatment. DPSCs were seeded on each dentine sample (10 000 cells per sample). Lactate dehydrogenase activity assays were used to calculate the attached DPSCs after 1 day of incubation. Water soluble tetrazolium assays were performed to investigate DPSCs proliferation on the treated dentine samples after three additional days of incubation. Two‐way <sc>anova</sc> followed by Tukey–Kramer tests was used for statistical analyses (α = 0.05).</p> </sec> <sec id="edt12181-sec-0003" sec-type="section"> <title>Results</title> <p>Dentine treated with 1 or 500 mg ml<sup>−1</sup> of DAP followed by EDTA caused significant increases in DPSCs attachment compared to the dentine treated with the DAP alone. The 500 mg ml<sup>−1</sup> of DAP with or without EDTA caused significant reductions in DPSCs proliferation. However, the treatment of dentine with 1 mg ml<sup>−1</sup> of DAP did not have significant negative effects on DPSCs proliferation regardless of the use of EDTA.</p> </sec> <sec id="edt12181-sec-0004" sec-type="section"> <title>Conclusion</title> <p>The use of 1 mg ml<sup>−1</sup> of DAP followed by 10 min of irrigation with EDTA in endodontic regeneration procedure may have no negative effects on the attachment and proliferation of DPSCs.</p> </sec> </abstract>
