Original Research A comparative evaluation of efficacy of chloroform, xylene, rectified white turpentine oil, eucalyptus oil and peppermint oil as GuttaPercha solvent: An in vitro study. Kumar A, Pandey KR, Mishra A Abstract: Objective: To compare the efficacy of chloroform, xylene, rectified white turpentine oil, eucalyptus oil and peppermint oil as Guttapercha solvent. Material & Methods: The solubility of guttapercha was tested in 2ml quantity of each five solvent independently for time period of 5 minutes, 8 minutes, and 10 minutes (chloroform, xylene, rectified white turpentine oil, eucalyptus oil and peppermint oil). Distilled water was used a control. The difference in weight before and after dissolution was recorded in order to calculate the solubilizing efficacy expressed in terms of decrease in weight, for each solvent. Results: Mean percentage decrease in weight of guttapercha showed by chloroform, xylene, rectified white turpentine oil, eucalyptus oil and peppermint oil were 38.87±0.73, 28.30± 0.97, 25.86±0.89, 18.27±0.85, 1.76±0.76 respectively. Distilled water showed not alternation in guttapercha weight. Conclusion: Chloroform was found to be most effective in solubilizing guttapercha followed by xylene, rectified white turpentine oil, eucalyptus oil. Peppermint oil showed minimal response as a guttapercha solvent.
