Özet:

 Aim The removal of the smear layer is a critical step in the success of root canal treatment. It is known that the effectiveness of EDTA solutions can vary, particularly depending on their pH levels. The aim of this study was to compare the room temperature pH values and cost per liter of eight different brands of 17 EDTA solutions available on the Turkish market. Material and Methods In this study, eight different commercially available 17 EDTA solutions were procured from the market. The pH values of the solutions were measured at room temperature using a pH meter, with three separate measurements taken for each solution, and the average values were calculated. Additionally, the cost per liter of each product was determined. The collected data were analyzed comparatively. Results The pH values of Woolin Endo, Promida, Cool  EDTA, and Werax brands were measured as 13.00  0.4. The pH values of Imicryl and Saver brands were found to be 10.00  0.8, while those of AQUA Solution and Cerkamed Endo-Solution brands were measured as 7.4  0.1. In terms of price analysis, Cool  EDTA had the lowest cost per liter. AQUA Solution was identified as the most economical product among those with a neutral pH value. Conclusion It is important for companies in the market to declare the pH value as it affects the physical properties of the solution.

 Amaç Smear tabakasının uzaklaştırılması, kök kanal tedavisinin başarısında kritik bir aşamadır. EDTA solüsyonlarının etkinliğinin, özellikle pH değerine bağlı olarak değişebildiği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye piyasasında satışta olan sekiz farklı markaya ait 17lik EDTA solüsyonlarının oda sıcaklığındaki pH değerlerini ve litre başı maliyetlerini karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler Çalışmada, piyasadan temin edilen sekiz farklı 17 EDTA solüsyonunun pH değerleri, oda sıcaklığında bir pH metre kullanılarak üç ayrı ölçümle belirlenmiş ve ortalama değerler hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca her ürünün litre başı fiyatı da tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular Woolin Endo, Promida, Cool  EDTA ve Werax markalarının pH değerleri 13,00  0,4 olarak ölçülmüştür. Imicryl ve Saver markalarının pH değeri 10,00  0,8, AQUA Solution ve Cerkamed Endo-Solution markalarının ise 7,4  0,1 olarak bulunmuştur. Fiyat analizinde, en düşük litre başı maliyet Cool  EDTA markasında belirlenmiştir. Nötr pH değerine sahip en ekonomik ürünün AQUA Solution olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç Piyasadaki firmaların solüsyonun fiziksel özelliklerini etkilendiğinden pH değeri beyan etmesi önem arz etmektedir.
