Aims: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of 0.005% Triphala and 2% chlorhexidine
and5.25%hypochlorite sodium on the micro-hardness of root canal dentin used to irrigation solutions.
Settings and Design: in vitro. Methods and Material: 88 single-rooted mandibular premolars were selected.
The teeth were sectioned horizontally at mid-root, then were embedded in resin blocks. The samples groundpolished.
samples were randomly assigned to four test groups (n=22). Group I: distilled water (control group);
Group II: Triphala; Group III: 2% chlorhexidine; Group IV: 5.25% hypochlorite sodium. Following treatment
with irrigation solutions for 15 minmicro-hardness of dentin blocks was evaluated using Vickers hardness
indentation machine. Statistical analysis used: one-way ANOVA and post hoc-Tukey’s test. Results: the results
indicated that 5.25 % hypochlorite sodium solution was significantly decreased root-dentin micro-hardness
when compared with the control group (p<0.05). Triphala had the least effect on micro-hardness in
comparison with 2% chlorhexidine and 5.25% NaOCl. Conclusions: Although there are many factors for
irrigation solution preference, according to the results of this study Triphala seems to be an appropriate
endodontic solution because of its harmless effect on the micro-hardness of root dentin
