EFFECTIVENESS OF FIVE DIFFERENT SOLVENTS ON GUTTA–PERCHA– AN IN VITRO STUDY.

Dr. Moksha Nayak, Dr Angeline Jose

Abstract :

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of xylene, chloroform, turpentine oil, thyme oil and orange oil to dissolve gutta–percha at three different immersion time intervals. Three hundred and forty gutta–percha cones of ISO no.35 (Dentsply 0.06 taper) were taken as samples for the study. Gutta–percha cones were divided into five groups for immersion in the different solvents tested for 5,10 and 15minutes. The means of gutta–percha dissolution in the solvents were obtained by the difference between the pre–immersion original weight and the post–immersion weight in a digital analytical scale. Data were statistically analyzed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The best solvency capacity to dissolve gutta–percha was showed by xylene and the least was shown by turpentine oil at all three–time intervals.
