Introduction Calcium silicate cements can be successfully used for the treatment of root perforations due to their exceptional biological and sealing properties. The aim of this study was to test, using dye penetration method, marginal microleakage of newly synthesized nanostructured biomaterials based on calcium silicate system and hydroxyapatite after their application in interradicular perforation of extracted teeth. Material and Methods The study included 34 extracted human molars. Newly synthesized nanostructured materials: one based on calcium silicate system (CS), and the other one based on hydroxyapatite and active calcium silicate system (HA-CS) were tested. Mineral trioxide agreaggate (MTA; Angelus, Londrina, Brazil) was used as control. Marginal microleakage was evaluated using dye penetration test 6 months after the application of materials in experimentally prepared inter-radicular perforations in extracted human molars. Dye penetration was analyzed using light microscope at 30X magnification, a method of quantifying visual information in computer software for image processing (Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, version 12.0 x 32). The values were expressed in millimeters, and the results statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc test (α=0.05). Results The shortest dye penetration was measured for calcium silicate system (0.44 mm), while slightly higher values were found for MTA (0.54 mm). Dye penetration for hydroxyapatite and active calcium silicate system (2.00 mm) was longer than for the other two materials (p
