Abstract

Objective:

To determine the mean setting time of White Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (WMTA) mixed with distilled water in comparison to White Mineral Trioxide Aggregate mixed with 20% Sodium Phosphate Dibasic Solution.

Materials and Methods:

The test for setting time was performed according to ADA (American Dental Association) specification # 57 and C266-03 of ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials). Setting time was measured using Gilmore needle. The specimens of control group were obtained by mixing White Mineral Trioxide Aggregate with distilled water. In experimental group the specimens were obtained by mixing WMTA with 20% Na2HPO4 solution. The data for setting time was analyzed by using student-t test

Results:

The setting time of White Mineral Trioxide Aggregate was significantly reduced from 4 hours to 94 minutes by using 20% sodium phosphate dibasic solution.

Conclusion:

It was concluded from the present study that the addition of 20% sodium phosphate dibasic solution has significantly reduced the setting time of White Mineral Trioxide Aggregate.
