| Popis: | Background The objective of the present study was to compare solubility and pH of 6 direct pulp capping materials. Methods Specimens of each material – i.e., Dycal, Calcicur, Calcimol LC, TheraCal LC, MTA Angelus and ProRoot MTA – were prepared and immersed in water. Solubility was determined after 24 hours and 2 months and analyzed statistically using a 1-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey test. pH values were measured 3 and 24 hours after manipulation. Results All direct pulp capping materials showed low solubility; the pH of tested materials ranged from 10 to 12 and showed a nonsignificant increase/reduction after 24 hours. Conclusions Within the limitations of this in vitro study, the direct pulp capping materials studied showed different solubility even if no changes were recorded over time. All of the materials showed a very alkaline pH. |
