Abstract

The article presents the results of a study on the solubility of various calcium hydroxide preparations when mixed with solutions of 3% sodium hypochlorite, 17% EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), 40% citric acid. In the study, we used calcium hydroxide preparations on aqueous, viscous and oil base. Two samples in each group were used. The study revealed that the smallest particles were formed in the group of preparations on viscous base in combination with chelating agents, which indicates better solubility.

Key words:

calcium hydroxide, solubility, EDTA, citric acid, sodium hypochlorite
