Endodontic Irrigants: A Comprehensive Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Irrigation has been performed in conjunction with endodontic therapy for many years. One of the primary reasons for irrigating the root canal system is to ensure cleanliness of the canals prior to obturation. This cleanliness involves both elimination of microorganisms and removal of organic matter. Sodium hypochlorite [NaOCl] is the most commonly used solution in root canal treatments, despite its risk for complications. Some other commonly used irrigants include chlorhexidine, MTAD, EDTA and citric acid. This review discusses the available literature on root canal irrigants and the possible complications during their usage.
