The aim of this study is to test the dissolving action of different concentrations of NaOCl (0.5%, 2.5% and 5%) and EDTA 17% on bovine pulp tissue, testing solutions at three different times (1, 5, 10 minutes), 100 mg.of dental pulp placed into a becker with 20 ml of solution was evaluated using a spectrophotometer. A solution of NaOCl 5% showed the highest solubility value. Samples treated with 2.5% NaOCl showed solubility values of 0.98 in one minute, 29.1 in five minutes and 57 in ten minutes. Groups treated with NaOCl 0.5% showed small dissolving modifications. 17% EDTA showed the lowest values of solubility. 5% NaOCl solution showed highest pulp dissolving ability, even a 2.5% solution showed high dissolving ability but in longer times.
