Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the pH values of calcium hydroxide mixtures in combination with either distilled water, two different local anaesthetic solutions or physiological saline solution, which are commonly used as a dressing materials during endodontic treatment. The pH of each vehicle prior to mix with calcium hydroxide and subsequently each prepared combination was determined using a digital pH meter. The pH measurements were determined at 3 min, 10 min, 1 h, 24 h, 48 h and 7 days. The results of this study indicated that four different water-based vehicles demonstrated similar pH changes range within pH 11-12 when mixed with calcium hydroxide.
