Efficacy of grapefruit, tangerine, lime, and lemon oils as solvents for softening gutta-percha in root canal retreatment procedures.
In the present study, we evaluate the efficiency of four kinds of oil as solvents for softening gutta-percha in root canal retreatment procedures. The performance of grapefruit, tangerine, lime, and lemon oils specifically were evaluated and compared to chloroform. Eighty-four cylinder-shaped glass...
