Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the dissolution effectiveness of eucalyptus oil, orange oil, xylene, and distilled water on three different endodontic sealers.
About 240 samples of root canal sealers (eighty for each sealer) were prepared and divided into four groups of 20 each for immersion in different organic solvents. Each group was further subdivided into two subgroups (
The lowest level of solubility was observed for Adseal followed by Apexit Plus and Endomethasone N at both time periods in all solvents. Apexit Plus showed no significant (
In general, xylene was the most effective in dissolving root canal sealers than other organic solvents. Essential oils (eucalyptus oil and orange oil) were found similar in their ability to dissolve Apexit Plus and Endomethasone N.

Its removal is a prerequisite for any retreatment endodontic therapy. Retrieval of gutta-percha usually does not require a great effort while using the aforementioned techniques either alone or in combination. However, various evidence-based studies till date have reported that filling material residues, especially sealers present on canal walls and in their microscopic ramifications, may either remain inaccessible or resist dissolution.[<xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref><xref rid="ref6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref><xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>] Therefore, complete removal of sealers may vary considerably. In such cases, organic solvents play a vital role in the thorough removal of endodontic sealers. This facilitates the efficient disinfection of the root canal system and thus the probability of long-term treatment success.</p><p>Although chloroform is considered as the most effective solvent in nonsurgical retreatment, it has been banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1976 due to its carcinogenic potential and toxicity to the tissues.[<xref rid="ref8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref><xref rid="ref9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref><xref rid="ref10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>] Therefore, various alternatives such as halothane, rectified turpentine, Endosol R and E benzene, methyl chloroform, ether, xylene, orange oil, and eucalyptol have been suggested and used for softening of filling materials.[<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref><xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref><xref rid="ref8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref><xref rid="ref11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>] Xylene (dimethylbenzene) is an aromatic compound and has been reported to be a very efficient solvent for root canal obturating materials. Although it is toxic, its toxicity is inferior to benzene and chloroform.[<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>] Essential oils such as orange oil, eucalyptus oil, and pine oil are able to dissolve most of the endodontic sealers. They have been reported to be safe, biocompatible, noncarcinogenic, and useful for this purpose.[<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref><xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref><xref rid="ref13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]</p><p>There are varieties of commercially available endodontic sealers with different composition and physiochemical properties.[<xref rid="ref14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref><xref rid="ref15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref><xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>] Therefore, they could influence and consequently determine the clinical effectiveness of the commonly used organic solvents. Apexit Plus has been studied very well regarding their solubility in various solvents.[<xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>] However, there are as yet no studies that show the effectiveness of the aforementioned solvents on Endomethasone N and Adseal root canal sealers. Therefore, a simple, reproducible, and cost-effective laboratory study was carried out to comparatively evaluate the effectiveness of eucalyptus oil, orange oil, and xylene in dissolving Endomethasone N, Apexit Plus, and Adseal.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="sec1-2"><title>MATERIALS AND METHODS</title><p>Standardized stainless steel molds (8 mm diameter, 2 mm height) were used to prepare two hundred and forty samples (eighty for each endodontic sealer).

Freshly mixed materials were carefully poured into the sample molds placed on a glass slab using a 2 ml syringe to prevent air entrapment, and a microscope slide covered with cellophane strip was then pressed onto the upper surface to make the surface flat. All samples along with their steel molds were then transferred to a chamber with 80% relative humidity and 37°C temperature and left untouched to set sealers for 48 h and then removed from the chamber. Excess material was then removed with the help of a scalpel. The samples were weighed in grams (up to four decimal places) 3 times on an analytical balance (Sartorius TE214S, Sartorius AG, Germany). The mean values were then calculated.</p><p>The samples were then divided into four groups of twenty each for immersion in different organic solvents.

Samples were allowed to dry for 24 h at 37 ± 1°C in an oven and then kept in dehumidifier/desiccators. Thereafter, the samples were weighed 3 times and the mean was calculated.

Therefore, the use of organic solvents has been anticipated to decrease the resistance of obturating materials inside the canal so that their retrieval can become easier in synergism with instrumentation. However, clinicians should be very cognizant about the use of removal techniques and materials for the dismantlement of the previous treatment because very strong solvents are capable of softening the enamel and dentin,[<xref rid="ref18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>] which may promote canal transportation[<xref rid="ref19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>] and chemical pericementitis if penetrated beyond the apex.[<xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>]</p><p>There exist no specific standards for the measurement of root canal sealer solubility in organic solvents. The method used in this <italic>in vitro</italic> investigation is similar to the previous studies.[<xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref><xref rid="ref21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>] Various studies have reported that a mean time of 1.5–10.8 min is required for the removal of very well-compacted obturating materials by instrumentation with or without solvents.[<xref rid="ref9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref><xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>] In the present study, application of 2 and 10 min for standardized samples allowed us to demonstrate clear differences in the solubility profiles of the endodontic sealers used in various solvents. To enhance the accuracy of the measurements, one sealer sample was used for just one immersion period, thus excluding its undesirable weight loss because of the repeated drying and immersion. After the specified immersion period, all samples were washed with distilled water to remove the decomposed loosen debris.</p><p>Although several studies regarding the solubility of endodontic sealers in various organic solvents have been reported in the literature,[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref><xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref><xref rid="ref21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref><xref rid="ref23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>] the comparison of the effects of sealers on solvents and vice versa was found interesting in this laboratory analysis. All endodontic sealers used in this study were found to be soluble to some extent in all the four solvents. Xylene was the more effective solvent followed by the essential oils (eucalyptus and orange oil) and distilled water the least. This is in accordance with several previous studies.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref><xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>] Moreover, the effect of all solvents was found gradual and proportional to the contact time with the surface of the sealers.</p><p>Organic solvents are usually employed in paint industries to soften the coated materials for their easy removal.[<xref rid="ref13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>] These solvents can be applied in retreatment therapy for the retrieval of resistant or strongly adhered sealers in canal irregularities and ramifications. Several organic solvents have been investigated in the literature for their softening or dissolution capability in endodontic retreatment.[<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref><xref rid="ref23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>] Since all solvents are known for their toxicity to tissues to variable extent,[<xref rid="ref24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>] the selection of an ideal organic solvent for any nonsurgical endodontic retreatment requires an equilibrium between its sealer dissolution competency and clinical safety regarding toxicity and belligerence toward the tissues.</p><p>The use of essential oils in endodontics is growing because of their safety, biocompatibility, and noncarcinogenicity. Eucalyptus oil is the distilled oil obtained from the leaves of <italic>Eucalyptus globulus</italic>; a plant of the family Myrtaceae native to Australia and cultivated worldwide. Its major constituent is 1,8-cineole. It exhibits antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.[<xref rid="ref25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>] Orange oil, an extract of the peel of sweet orange fruit (<italic>Citrus sinensis</italic>) is an efficient alternative to potentially toxic solvents. Sweet orange oil consists of approximately 90% D-limonene; a solvent used in various household products. D-Limonene is an efficient cleaning agent with a pleasant smell and is considered environment friendly. There is no evidence for its carcinogenicity or genotoxicity.[<xref rid="ref26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>] Further, orange oil is less cytotoxic and more biocompatible than eucalyptol and chloroform.[<xref rid="ref6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref><xref rid="ref25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>]</p><p>Owing to the concerns about the carcinogenicity of chloroform and unpredictable, idiosyncratic hepatic necrosis and toxicities of halothane,[<xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>] xylene and essential oils can be considered as safe alternatives. Xylene is a less toxic alternative to chloroform. It is commonly considered as an efficient solvent for several organic materials such as gutta percha (alkadienes; a hydrocarbon), polymers (resilons; a polycaprolactone), resins and sealers.[<xref rid="ref23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref><xref rid="ref27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>] This may be due to its action on covalent bonds between the carbon atoms. Chloroform dissolves rather than softens the obturating materials, leaving residues on the canal walls and its fast evaporation makes use of more and more solvent, which makes its use messy and inconvenient. However, the action of xylene is relatively slow, which permits an efficient and biologically safe removal of softened filling materials.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>] Görduysus <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>] reported that xylol showed similar behavior in dissolving gutta-percha as chloroform.</p><p>In the present study, eucalyptus oil and orange oil have shown almost similar behavior in dissolving all sealers. It has been reported that both xylol and orange oil were excellent in softening the gutta-percha and sealer cements without any deleterious effects.[<xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref><xref rid="ref28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>] Orange oil has been shown to be more biocompatible than eucalyptol, xylol, chloroform, and halothane.[<xref rid="ref9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>] The behavior of orange oil to dissolve zinc oxide–eugenol-based sealers was found similar to that of eucalyptol, chloroform, and xylol.[<xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref><xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref><xref rid="ref28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>] However, orange oil and eucalyptol are poor to dissolve the resin-based materials.[<xref rid="ref10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref><xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>] Mushtaq <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>] and Martos <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>] have stated that dissolving capacity of orange oil is inferior to chloroform and xylene. However, this is in contrast to some studies which showed similar dissolution behavior of orange oil, eucalyptol, chloroform, and xylol.[<xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref><xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref><xref rid="ref29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>] Magalhães <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>] stated that xylol was the best solvent whereas chloroform, eucalyptol, and orange oil presented a similar solvent profile. This indicates that both eucalyptol and orange oil could be suitable as solvents for softening or dissolving the endodontic sealers. The dissolution capacity of eucalyptol is slower than that of other commonly used solvents at room temperature. However, when it is heated, its dissolution effect increases.[<xref rid="ref30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>] Furthermore, this solvent can be easily washed out after retrieval of filling materials by irrigation with tensio-active solutions (sodium laurel sulfate).[<xref rid="ref25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>]</p><p>Under the experimental conditions of the present study, Adseal (an epoxy resin-based material) showed the lowest level of solubility than other sealers in all the solvents. It may be due to the fact that Epoxy resin (Adseal) is a heavily cross-linked, rigid, and strong polymer.[<xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>] Adseal showed significantly higher dissolution in xylene at 10 min than eucalyptus and orange oils. Interestingly, no significant dissolution was observed in eucalyptus oil and orange oil at both time periods. Bodrumlu and Kayaoglu[<xref rid="ref29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>] in their <italic>in vitro</italic> study concluded that AH Plus (epoxy resin-based sealer) dissolved to some extent and more than Ketac-Endo (glass ionomer-based sealer), using either eucalyptus oil or chloroform as the solvent. Martos <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>] reported that the efficacy of eucalyptus oil, orange oil, xylene, and chloroform to dissolve EZ-Fill (epoxy resin-based sealer) was not significantly different from each other at 2 min.</p><p>Apexit Plus, a calcium hydroxide-based sealer has a more convenient delivery form and hydrophilic formulation of Apexit. Consequently, the material is more reliable if used in thicker layers. In this investigation, Apexit Plus had shown more pronounced dissolution in all the organic solvents as compared with distilled water. No significant difference in its dissolution was observed among eucalyptus oil, orange oil, and xylene at both time periods. The dissolution of Apexit Plus was found inferior to Endomethasone N in the current investigation. The reason for low solubility could be the more consistent setting reaction forming a more stable complex. Apexit Plus has a pH of <8, which is not true for other calcium hydroxide-based root canal sealers. This low pH may be because of less hydroxyl ion concentration which reacts with the acidic phenol group of salicylates subsequent to the dissociation of calcium hydroxide. Mushtaq <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>] reported that Apexit Plus showed the maximum weight loss in xylene. However, its dissolution in refined orange oil and tetrachloroethylene was found to the same extent. Whitworth and Boursin[<xref rid="ref9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>] reported that Apexit was significantly more soluble in halothane and chloroform as compared to Ketac-endo and AH Plus. There are no published data regarding the action of other organic solvents on this material. Therefore, the effective retrieval of this material from the root canal system using these organic solvents cannot be assured.</p><p>Endomethasone N is a zinc oxide eugenol-based sealer. It has been developed to ameliorate the neurotoxic and mutagenic effects of paraformaldehyde present in its predecessor. Its cytotoxicity is approximately 30 times lower than a formaldehyde-containing sealer.[<xref rid="ref31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>] In this study, it showed a higher weight loss than other endodontic sealers and the maximum in xylene followed by orange oil and eucalyptus oil. This is in accordance with the previous studies.[<xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref><xref rid="ref21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>] This high degree of solubility is probably due to the release of eugenol, and the hydrolysis of hardened zinc eugenolate. ZOE-based materials decompose hydrolytically as follows:[<xref rid="ref32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>]</p><p>Zn (C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>11</sub>O<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>+2H<sub>2</sub>o = Zn (OH)<sub>2</sub>+2C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>11</sub>O<sub>2</sub></p><p>This zinc hydroxide is almost insoluble in neutral, but highly soluble in an acidic solution.[<xref rid="ref32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>] No significant difference was observed in the dissolution of zinc oxide–eugenol-based sealer (Endofill) by orange oil, chloroform, and eucalyptus oil in a scanning electron microscope retreatment study.[<xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>] However, Whitworth and Boursin[<xref rid="ref9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>] observed that zinc oxide–eugenol-based sealer presented significantly lower solubility in halothane than chloroform, which was 9 times more effective than eucalyptus oil when exposed for 20 min.</p><p>The present laboratory investigation did not consider the clinically imposed parameters such as canal system anatomy, temperature, access, volume of exchange, dilution or displacement by biological fluids, or irrigants regarding the action of solvents on root canal sealing cement. Therefore, its result cannot be directly extrapolated to clinical scenarios. The search for more effective and biocompatible universal solvent should continue and should not be confined simply to the softening and gross removal of obturating materials.</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusions" id="sec1-5"><title>CONCLUSIONS</title><p>Within the limitations of this laboratory study, the following conclusions had been drawn.</p><p><list list-type="order"><list-item><p>Xylene was the most effective solvent</p></list-item><list-item><p>Orange oil and eucalyptus oil showed no significant difference in their solvent behavior</p></list-item><list-item><p>All the sealers showed more dissolution in all the solvents used at 10 min than 2 min</p></list-item><list-item><p>In distilled water, insignificant sealer dissolution was observed.</p></list-item></list></p><sec id="sec2-3"><title>Financial support and sponsorship</title><p>Nil.</p></sec><sec id="sec2-4"><title>Conflicts of interest</title><p>There are no conflicts of interest.</p></sec></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgment</title><p>The authors are thankful to Mr. M.
