Aim: The current study aimed toevaluate the effectiveness of QMix and EDTA solutions in removing Ca(OH)2from root canals. Materials and Methods: Forty-eightmandibular premolar teeth were instrumented by ProTaper Universal instruments.All of the teeth were then fixed in modified Eppendorf vials using a siliconeimpression material. After the removal of the specimens from the Eppendorf vialsthe roots were split into two halves longitudinally and standard longitudinalgrooves were then created on the dentinal walls at a level of 3 mm below thecementoenamel junction and 3 mm above from the apex of the roots. The Ca(OH)2was placed into the grooves and the specimens were then remounted into thesilicone impression material. Six groups were formed: Needle-EDTA, Needle-QMix,Ultrasonic-EDTA, Ultrasonic- QMix, Sonic-EDTA and Sonic-QMix. The root halveswere separated and digital images of artificially created grooves were obtainedwith a stereomicroscope at a 25x magnification. The Ca(OH)2 left onthe artificially created grooves were scored using a 4-graded scoring systemand the data were statistically analyzed. Results: Needle QMix group removed moreCa(OH)2 than with the EDTA group at the apical part of the rootcanal (P < 0.083). Conclusions: When the irrigation wasperformed by a conventional needle, the QMix solution had better efficiencythan EDTA in removing Ca(OH)2 from the apical part of the rootcanal. In clinical practice, the QMix solution can be used effectively for theremoval of Ca (OH)2.  * Department of Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Ataturk University, Erzurum.      Keywords: QMix, EDTA, calcium hydroxideYAPAY OLARAKOLUŞTURULMUŞ OLUKLARDAN KALSİYUM HİDROKSİTİN UZAKLAŞTIRILMASINDA QMixSOLÜSYONUNUN ETKİNLİĞİAmaç:Bu çalışma amacı, QMix ve EDTAsolüsyonlarının kök kanalından Ca(OH)2 ’i uzaklaştırmaetkinliklerini değerlendirmektir.Gereçve Yöntem: ProTaper Universal aletlerikullanılarak 48 adet altçene küçük azı dişi şekillendirildi. Tüm dişlermodifiye Ependorf tüplerine slikon ölçü materyali kullanılarak sabitlendi.Örnekler Ependorf tüplerinden çıkarıldıktan sonra kökler dik olarak ikiyeayrıldı ve dentin duvarları üzerinde, mine sement sınırının 3 mm aşağısında veapeksin 3 mm yukarısında olacak şekilde standart oluklar oluşturuldu. OluklaraCa(OH)2 yerleştirildi ve örnekler tekrar slikon ölçü materyaliiçerisine yerleştirildi. 6 grup oluşturuldu:İğne-EDTA, İğne-QMix, Ultrasonik-EDTA, Ultrasonik-QMix, Sonik-EDTA, Sonik-QMix.Kök parçaları ayrıldı ve stereo mikroskop altında 25 büyütme kullanılarakolukların dijital görüntüleri alındı. 4 aşamalı skorlama sistemi kullanılarakgeride kalan Ca(OH)2 miktarı değerlendirildi ve verileristatistiksel olarak analiz edildi.Bulgular:İğne-QMix grubu apikal bölgedeiğne-EDTA grubundan daha fazla Ca(OH)2 uzaklaştırmıştır.
