A gravimetric method was employed. It was found that when an excess of E.D.T.A. was used, 73 percent of the available inorganic dentin was reacted with. In two different approaches utilizing an excess of dentin, a proportionate amount of inorganic matter was reacted with. A buffer solution, in itself, had no effect. It was concluded, and for the first time graphically illustrated, the E.D.T.A. reacts with dentin in a self-limiting manner.en-USThis work is protected by copyright.
