Abstract

Compressive strength and calcium ion release are integral properties of Biodentine for its enhanced efficiency. The present study evaluated the effects of Dual Rinse HEDP (DR HEDP), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on the calcium ion release and compressive strength of Biodentine. Eighty Biodentine specimens were moulded and randomly divided into four groups (n = 20). Samples in group 1 were treated with 17 % EDTA; group 2 with DR HEDP; group 3 with 2.5 % NaOCl; and group 4 with distilled water. Samples were immersed in 10 mL of the test solutions for 1 min. The mean concentration of the calcium ion released was measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The remaining 40 samples were tested for their compressive strength. Significant differences were determined among all the irrigants tested for calcium ion release and compressive strength. Samples treated with NaOCl had the lowest calcium ion release, while samples treated with 17 % EDTA had the largest calcium ions. No significant differences were measured between DR HEDP or distilled water. For compressive strength, samples treated with 2.5 % NaOCl had the lowest strength, while the highest values were obtained with distilled water. There was a significant difference between DR HEDP and EDTA, in which EDTA reduced the compressive strength significantly more than DR HEDP. DR HEDP had less detrimental effect on the calcium ion release and compressive strength of Biodentine.
