Context: Aims: Estimating wettability of irrigating solutions. To evaluate and compare wettability of three irrigating solutions using contact angle. In this study three groups of irrigating solutions ie., Group A: 2.5% sodium hypochlorite Methods and Material: + 8.5% Etidronic acid or Hydroxy ethylidene disphosphonic acid (HEDP), Group B: 2.5% sodium hypochlorite + 8.5% ethylene glycol bis –N N N N' – tetraacetic acid (EGTA) and Group C: 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), with a sample size of 15 each were taken. A drop of each solution was placed on the glass slide using a micropipette. The photograph was made with an SLR camera, and the contact angle was measured using AutoCAD software. Statistical Analysis Used: Results: Chronbach's alpha coefcient and One-way ANOVA One-way ANOVA test revealed a signicant difference (p=0.001) among tested groups, i.e. between Group A & C, Group A & B. But there was no signicant difference between group C & B. Conclusions: Sodium hypochlorite in combination with HEDP showed better wettability comparatively than the other two irrigating solutions
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.
