“…The pH of the soaking solution ranges from 7.1 to 8.2, 8.0-9.13 and 9.3-10.7 for the hydraulic cements ProRoot MTA, MTA Angelus and Biodentine respectively (Al-Sherbiny et al, 2021;Atmeh, 2020;Gandolfi et al, 2015aGandolfi et al, , 2015bGuimarães et al, 2018;Pelepenko et al, 2021). Calcium ion release was reported to reduce with time (Acris De Carvalho et al, 2021;Al-Sherbiny et al, 2021;Atmeh, 2020;Dawood et al, 2015;De Souza et al, 2018;Gandolfi et al, 2013aGandolfi et al, , 2015aGandolfi et al, , 2015bGuimarães et al, 2018;Han et al, 2015;Kang et al, 2021;Koutroulis et al, 2019a;Mahmood Talabani et al, 2020;Natale et al, 2015;Vivan et al, 2010). Despite the variations in the methodologies and designs used to quantify calcium, which makes comparisons difficult, studies reported a 50%-70% drop in calcium release over 4 weeks following cement hydration (Al-Sherbiny et al, 2021;Atmeh, 2020;Gandolfi et al, 2013Gandolfi et al, , 2015aGandolfi et al, , 2015bGuimarães et al, 2018;Koutroulis et al, 2019a;Mahmood Talabani et al, 2020).…”
