Surface tension of several drugs used in endodontics

Surface tension of various drugs used in endodontic therapy was studied by the capillary method. Drugs of the phenol group--eugenol, paramonochlorophenol, tricresol-formalin and phenol--presented very low surface tension. The association of a detergent to the solution of calcium hydroxide reduced it...

Summary:Surface tension of various drugs used in endodontic therapy was studied by the capillary method. Drugs of the phenol group--eugenol, paramonochlorophenol, tricresol-formalin and phenol--presented very low surface tension. The association of a detergent to the solution of calcium hydroxide reduced its surface tension by half.
