The purpose of this study was to determine diffusion of hydroxyl ions through dentine from different calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] medicaments. Forty-five single-rooted teeth were instrumented and cavities (3 mm in diameter and 1 mm in depth) were prepared on the facial surface of each root. After smear layer was removed with 17% EDTA all surfaces of roots, except cavities, were coated with nail polish. Teeth were randomly divided into four experimental groups (each 10 samples) and a control group (five samples). They were filled with: group 1, Ca(OH)2 and distilled water mixture; group 2, TempCanal; group 3, Calasept; and group 4, Ca(OH)2 plus point. Control group, in which nothing was applied to the canals. All samples were immersed in distilled water maintained at 37°C. pH values were measured at 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days and 14 days. Ca(OH)2-distilled water mixture and TempCanal showed highest pH values at 24 h. Calasept, Ca(OH)2 plus point and control showed highest pH values at 3 h. Time intervals after 24 h, Ca(OH) 2-distilled water mixture, TempCanal and Calasept showed higher pH values than Ca(OH)2 plus point, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). The pH value of Ca(OH)2 plus point was lower than the values of other materials after 3 h. This study indicates that non-setting Ca(OH)2 based materials have an effective release of hydroxyl ions compared with Ca(OH)2 plus point.
