Abstract

This study's objective was to compare how well xylene, chloroform, turpentine oil, halothane, and orange oil dissolved materials at three different immersion time intervals.For the investigation. An ISO no. 40 cone and gutta-percha cones with a 0.06 taper were gathered. In each of the tested solvents, five batches of samples were made and submerged for 6, 12, and 18 minutes. To ascertain the process of gutta-percha dissolution in the solvents, the weight before immersion and the weight after immersion in the solvents were measured on a digital analytical scale. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and multiple comparisons with Scheffe's test (p 0.05) were used to statistically analyse the data. With xylene, the best solvency capacity was attained. Halothane, orange oil, and chloroform all had comparable dissolving abilities.
