Abstract

Aim
The aim of the study was to evaluate the solubility of new pulpotomy materials; Pulpine mineral (PMIN) and Pulpine NE (PNE) in comparison to Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA).
Materials and Methods
9 split Teflon ring molds of a height of 1.5 mm and an internal diameter of 7.75 mm were performed, specimens were randomly distributed into three equal groups (PMIN, PNE and MTA), the specimens with molds were immersed in 100 ml separate sealed cups, filled with 60 ml deionized water and stored in the incubator for 24 h and 1 week. Solubility was recorded by the percentage of material mass loss over time
Results
There was a statistically significant difference between each group, the highest value of solubility test was recorded to Pulpine mineral group, followed by pulpine NE while the least solubility value was recorded to MTA.
Conclusion
MTA revealed the best solubility value among different groups
