Using 8 samples chosen from typical dental temporary filling materials, the changes in their weight in deionized water (pH 6.5) with the passage of time were studied to determine how the weights of the materials change after being applied orally for temporary filling. It was found that the fluctuation of weight was the smallest with zinc-eugenol paste followed by temporary stopping, copper sealing cement and hydraulic temporary sealer in increasing order. Hydraulic temporary sealer showed marked fluctuations according to the brand used.
