Objective: This in vitro study evaluated the action of vinegar solutions on microhardness of root dentin. Methods: Ten extracted human maxillary central incisors were sectioned transversely at the cementenamel junction. The roots were fixed on cutting machine device and were cut on cervical region transversely in 2-mm sections. The second cervical section was divided into four parts. Each one quarter of section was fixed with wax in the center of a pre-fabricated acrylic disc. Four treatment groups were tested: group 1 – alcohol vinegar; group 2 – white wine vinegar; group 3 – EDTA (standard group); group 4 – distilled water (control group). The specimens were submitted to solutions application for 5 min. The measurements of microhardness (initial and post-treatment) were carried out using a Knoop microhardness tester. Data were analyzed by using Wilcoxon and Kruskal Wallis tests. Results: The analysis of initial and final microhardness showed statically significant differences before and after application of the tested solutions alcohol vinegar, white wine vinegar and EDTA. Groups 1,2 and 3 presented a decrease in the microhardness values. Conclusion: The solutions of alcohol vinegar and white wine vinegar, as well as the EDTA, reduced the microhardness of root dentin.References
