Acidic pH weakens the microhardness and microstructure of three tricalcium silicate materials

Abstract: The microhardness values of ERRM Putty, ERRM Paste and MTA were reduced in an acidic environment, which resulted in these materials having more porous and less crystalline microstructures. MTA seems the most suitable material for application to an area of inflammation where a low pH value may exist.

“…As for BCP, Sharma concluded that EDTA reduced microhardness (with the potential of losing its structural integrity with prolonged EDTA exposure), while NaOCl increased microhardness. These findings are in accordance with other studies . There are no evidence‐based recommendations regarding the ideal time to leave BCP to set before subjecting the material to irrigants during root canal therapy.…”

“…The pH value of both ERRM and MTA treated canals declined to the levels of the negative control after a 4-week incubation in saline. A recent study showed that the microhardness values of ERRM Putty and ERRM Paste can be reduced in an acidic environment, and resulted in these materials having more porous and less crystalline microstructures (193). ERRM Putty Fig.…”

“…Surface microhardness has been used as an indicator of the overall strength of a material and its performance under masticatory stresses [12] . For hydraulic cements such as MTA, surface microhardness depicts the degree of hydration that occurred during the setting process and the influence of the setting environment on the overall strength of the material [13] .…”
