COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF THE DISSOLVING EFFECT OF RC SOLVE, EUCALYPTUS OIL AND G-SOL ON AH PLUS ROOT CANAL SEALER - AN INVITRO STUDY

Context: Use of root canal solvents has increased the success rate endodontic retreatment and it made procedure faster simpler. Aims: During retreatment, a solvent facilitates removal obturation material sealer by softening it, so as to obtain free debris microorganisms. Hence an invitro study was done evaluate compare dissolving effect RC Solve, Eucalyptus oil G-sol on AH Plus Root Canal Sealer. Methods Material: Thirty standardized stainless-steel rings filled with manipulated according manufacturers instructions were prepared placed ten minutes for complete setting in incubator at 37°C 48 hours weighed initial weight. The samples divided into three equal groups 10 each immersed dried 24 again final amount lost determined calculating difference between Results: all showed marked weight loss (p<0.05). best capability exhibited followed Solve least G-Sol. result ANOVA p-value 0.004 indicated significant change after immersion Oil Conclusions: Based findings this study, concluded that slightly better effect.
