Abstract : Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate pulp tissue dissolution ability of Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), Ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), Ambroxol hydrochloride and Triphala.  Methods: Pulp tissue of BOS Taurus primigenius was extracted from 20 mandibular incisors of 4 bovine jaws .Decoronation was done at the cementum–enamel junction and roots were resected at a length of 3 mm from the apex with a diamond disc connected to a electric micromotor. Pulp tissue was then taken out of the pulp chamber of the bovine tooth with a periodontal probe and cotton pliers. Specimens were weighed using a hermetic precision electronic balance (AND Company LTD) before the test to analyze the initial weight (T0) of the samples. Extracted bovine pulp tissue specimens were weighed and randomly distributed in to 4 experimental groups of 3% sodium hypochlorite, 17% EDTA, Ambroxol hydrochloride(35mg/ml), Triphala(100mg/ml) that were taken in 4 centrifugation tubes. Contents are filtered and undissolved tissue remnants collected and reweighed.  Results: Results obtained indicate that highest pulp dissolution is for NaOCl, followed by EDTA, Ambroxol Hydrochloride and least for Triphala.  Conclusion: Highest pulp dissolution is for NaOCl, followed by EDTA, Ambroxol Hydrochloride and least for Triphala.

Keywords : Sodium Hypochlorite, EDTA- Ethylenediaminetetraacetate, AMB-Ambroxol Hydrochloride, Triphala.
