Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the shape, the composition of Calcium Hydroxide Points (CH Point) and to determine the pH level in water. The shape of CH Point was measured by using a profile projector. The composition of the CH Point was analyzed by the X-ray diffraction and the EPMA. #60 CH Point was stored in 10ml of demineralized water that was replaced every day or not replaced for 7 days period. The pH levels of the water were measured by using an ion electrode with an ion meter every day.(omitted)
