چکیده

our primary objective was to measure root canal penetrations of aqueous antibacterial nano-chitosan (nano-cs), for the first time. the second objective was to compare and contrast such penetrations to those of chitosan (cs) itself, as well as sodium hypochlorite (naocl), chlorhexidine (chx) and ethylenediamintetraacetic acid (edta), at the routinely used concentrations. molar roots were split longitudinally by a rotary diamond saw. nano-cs was made by dissolving cs in acetic acid and adding tripolyphosphate (tpp), followed by a freeze-drying process. dentin penetrations are estimated through measurements of sessile contact angles. penetrations of the probed irrigants were assessed as inverse functions of their sessile contact angles. accordingly, all nano-cs solutions showed smaller sessile angles compared to those of naocl, cs, and edta samples. hence, nano-cs appeared to be a superior irrigant for demonstrating a higher penetration than the latter three. it fell only behind chx, yet, the superb chelating ability of nano-cs enabled it to remove smear layer to a larger extend than all of our other irrigants including chx. nano-cs could be considered as a new irrigant. higher penetration was its main advantage over cs, and commercial naocl, and edta. this was verified by  the smaller sessile contact angle of nano-cs. anticipated chelating effect of nano-cs could anchor more efficient removal of smear layer. this was another advantage of nano-cs over other irrigants including chx. other advantages of nano-cs included its reported biocompatibility, biodegradability and antibacterial effects. commercialization of nano-cs was deemed in the near horizon.

A New Nano-Chitosan Irrigant with Superior Smear Layer Removal and Penetration

Our primary objective was to measure root canal penetrations of aqueous antibacterial nano-chitosan (Nano-CS), for the first time. The second objective was to compare and contrast such penetrations to those of chitosan (CS) itself, as well as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), chlorhexidine (CHX) and ethylenediamintetraacetic acid (EDTA), at the routinely used concentrations. Molar roots were split l...

A new solution for the removal of the smear layer.

Various organic acids, ultrasonic instruments, and lasers have been used to remove the smear layer from the surface of instrumented root canals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a mixture of a tetracycline isomer, an acid, and a detergent (MTAD) as a final rinse on the surface of instrumented root canals. Forty-eight extracted maxillary and mandibular single-rooted hum...

The effect of new Tubulicid on smear layer removal.

The effects o f new Tubulicid R (a commerical cavity cleanser which contains 0,2 per cent disodium EOT A) on smear layer removal from ground and cavity dentine surfaces with and without mechanical agitation were de­ termined. None o f the surfaces displayed smear layer re­ moved scores greater than one. Although mechanical agi­ tation appeared to improve the smear layer removed properties o f n...

Effect of chitosan-ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid on Enterococcus faecalis dentinal biofilm and smear layer removal

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of chitosan and chitosan-ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) (3:1,1:1,1:3) in comparison with 5.2% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in disinfecting Enterococcus faecalis biofilm on root canal dentin and in the removal of smear layer with minimal erosion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy single-rooted extracted human mandibular...

Removal of Cd(II) ions from contaminated water by a new modified magnetic chitosan nano composite

Magnetic chitosan nanocomposites are one of the more recent advanced groups of adsorbents used to remove contaminants from waste water. In this research, N- Nicotinyl-N', N"-bis (Hexamethylenyl) phosphoric triamide (HE) was used as an additive to form a new nanocomposite with the structure of chitosan / 5% Fe3O4 Nps/10% HE resulting in the highly efficient removal of Cd(II...

Smear layer removal in canals shaped with reciprocating rotary systems

The aim was to assess the presence of smear layer after canal instrumentation with two reciprocating rotary systems and a continuous motion one. Thirty canals were shaped with Reciproc, WaveOne or Mtwo systems. Smear layer was assessed following a three value scale at coronal, middle and apical levels with a scanning electron microscopy. Reciproc scores: coronal third, 20% of the cases: 0, 60%:...
