The influence of different grades of rosins and hydrogenated resins on the powder-liquid ratio of Grossman cements.
In this study, the effect of different grades of rosin and hydrogenated resin on the setting time of Grossman cement was evaluated. The experiments were carried following the American Dental Association Specification number 57 for root canal sealers. For this analysis, different Grossman cement powders were prepared using different grades of rosin (X,WW and WG) and hydrogenated resin (Staybelite and Staybelite ester 10). The pH and electrical conductance of the different grades of rosin and hydrogenated resin were evaluated. The physicochemical properties of the Grossman cements obtained with the different grades of rosin and hydrogenated resins interfere in the powder-liquid ratio of the cements. The sealers obtained with the hydrogenated resin showed a higher powder-liquid ratio.
