Abstract:This study investigated the solubility of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Portland cement since its mixture until 672 hours, by means of two complimentary methods. Metal ring molds filled with the cements were covered with distilled water and, at each experimental time (3, 24, 72, 168, 336 and 672 hours), were weighed as soon as the plates in which the samples have been placed. Empty rings served as the control group (n=8). Mean weight gain and loss was determined and analyzed statistically by two-way ANO… Show more
“…The level of solubility was less than 3% and thus within the limits set by international standards (1). The higher solubility of MTA is in accordance with previous research in which MTA exhibited higher solubility than Portland cement (7,18). The solubility of MTA was higher than the 3% recommended by ISO 6867; 2002 (1).…”

“…In an investigation on the solubility of AMTA in comparison to PC, the former material showed more than a 3% weight loss during the first 24 hours after mixing, which is beyond acceptable weight loss determined by the International Standard Organization (72).…”

“…Other reasons for difference in MTA solubility include the time of immersion of the material, the type of MTA, and the powder-to-liquid ratio (42,46,71,72).…”
“…It is suggested that at least 72 hours are necessary to achieve the desirable sealability of MTA (30,31). Odabas et al (16) evaluated the SBS of composite to Biodentine after 2 time intervals (ie, 12 minutes and 24 hours) and obtained an increased SBS value for the 24-hour period.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
