Abstract
Aims: The aim of the study is to compare the dissolution effectiveness of xylene, thyme oil, and orange oil on three different endodontic sealers.
Materials and methods: Standardized stainless steel molds were used to prepare 210 samples (70 for each endodontic sealer). The samples were divided into three groups based on sealers. Three experimental groups with 20 samples each were immersed in organic solvents. One control group of 10 samples was immersed in distilled water. Each group was further subdivided into two subgroups based on immersion time (2 and 10 min). Inferential statistics included one-way ANOVA, post hoc Tukey, and paired t-test.
Results: Thyme showed significantly more dissolution capacity at 10 min compared to 2 min in dissolving AH Plus sealer whereas this difference was nonsignificant for Roekoseal and MTA Fillapex. Orange oil showed significantly more dissolution at 10 min compared to 2 min in dissolving AH Plus sealer and Roekoseal whereas this difference was nonsignificant concerning MTA Fillapex. Xylene showed significantly more dissolution capacity at 10 min compared to 2 min in dissolving AH Plus sealer, Roekoseal, and MTA Fillapex.
Conclusions: Among the three solvents, xylene showed the highest dissolution of all three sealers. Orange oil was superior to thyme oil in dissolving the sealers. All the sealers showed more dissolution in all the solvents at 10 min compared to 2 min.
