A comparative study of the physicochemical properties of hesperidin, MTA-Angelus and calcium hydroxide as pulp capping materials

Aim: This study compared the setting time, radiopacity, solubility and pH changes between Hisperidin cement, MTA-Angelus and Calcium hydroxide cements. Methods: The study was conducted on 3 equal groups of samples of the evaluated capping materials including; Hisperidin (group I, N = 24), MTA-Angelu...

description Aim: This study compared the setting time, radiopacity, solubility and pH changes between Hisperidin cement, MTA-Angelus and Calcium hydroxide cements. Methods: The study was conducted on 3 equal groups of samples of the evaluated capping materials including; Hisperidin (group I, N = 24), MTA-Angelus (group II, N = 24) and Dycal (group III, N = 24). According to the assessed property, these groups were further subdivided into three equal subgroups (8 samples each) including; subgroup A for assessment of the setting time, subgroup B for assessment of radiopacity and subgroup C for assessment of the solubility of the material and evaluation of pH. All recorded data were tabulated and statistically analyzed. Results: The highest mean value of setting time was for the MTA-Angelus followed by Hesperidin and Calcium hydroxide with 72.83, 48.26 and 1.58 min, respectively. MTA-Angelus had the highest radiopacity value and followed by Calcium hydroxide then Hesperidin. Hesperidin showed the solubility in distilled water (≈45% mass loss) in relation to Calcium hydroxide (≈19% mass loss). On the other hand, MTA-Angelus showed 9% increase in weight. On contrast to MTA and Calcium hydroxide, Hesperidin showed decrease in pH value throughout the evaluation periods. Higher pH values in MTA-Angelus and Calcium hydroxide were reported in comparison with Hesperidin. Conclusion: Despite its slight acidic nature, lower radiopacity and longer initial setting time, Hesperidin, as a natural product, is a promising pulp capping material. Further research on Hesperidin powder is recommended to improve its physicochemical properties and to assess its biological actions. Keywords: Dental pulp, pH, Radiopacity, Setting time, Solubility
