In vitro studies were made of periodontal dressing materials (Septo-pack, COE-pak [Hard & Fast set]).
9. Working times, 10. Setting times, 11. Hardness.
The results obtained were as follows:
1. Working times:
The working times of Septo-pack was similar to Peripac.
COE-pak [Hard & Fast set] was required about 20 seconds longer than COE-pak.
2. Setting times:
Septo-pack has finished the setting 2 to 5 times faster than Peripac.
COE-pak [Hard & Fast set] have finished the setting faster than COE-pak.
3. Hardness:
Peripac was 10 times harder than Septo-pack. COE-pak [Hard & Fast set] was 2 to 3 times harder than CUE-pak.
