    Objective: To determine the effectiveness of endodontic solvents in retreatments of root canals to soften gutta-percha at different time intervals. Methodology: Three solvent substances (eucalyptol, orange oil, and lemon essential oil) were used to dissolve gutta-percha, which was previously shaped into discs of 8 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness. These discs were weighed and individually recorded, then immersed in Petri dishes containing the substances to be studied. The discs were immersed for 2, 5, and 10-minute intervals, after which they were removed from the solvents, rinsed with distilled water, dried, and weighed again using a digital balance. The weights in grams at each time point were recorded and analyzed using SPSS 23 with an ANOVA test. Results: Eucalyptol achieved an effectiveness of 0.008, 0.012, and 0.018 grams at 2, 5, and 10 minutes, respectively. Orange oil achieved effectiveness of 0.007, 0.012, and 0.016 grams at 2, 5, and 10 minutes. Lemon essential oil achieved effectiveness of 0.005, 0.009, and 0.012 grams at 2, 5, and 10 minutes. Conclusion: Eucalyptol proved to be the most effective solvent for dissolving gutta-percha at 2, 5, and 10 minutes, followed by orange oil, which was more effective than lemon essential oil.
