the major objective in endodontic therapy is to disinfect the entire root canal system. this requires that the pulpal content be eliminated as sources of infection. this goal may be accomplished by mechanical instrumentation and chemical irrigation, in conjunction with medication of the root canal between treatment sessions. microorganisms and their by-products are considered to be the major ca...

Adequate removal of the previous filling material may be pivotal to a favorable outcome root canal retreatment teeth with post-treatment periodontitis in order permit access irrigants and medicaments persistent bacteria. However, even recent technological advances, including introduction specially designed instruments, no technique has been shown predictably promote complete removal. Supplement...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether a final rinse with Endosolv R® solvent and ultrasound resulted in cleaner root canal walls during endodontic retreatment. A total of 56 extracted premolar teeth were manually instrumented using a step-back flare technique and filled with gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer. After 9 months, the canals were retreated by removing the gutta-percha and se...

OBJECTIVES During the treatment of chronic apical periodontitis and pulp necrosis the main role is to irrigate the root canal. AIM The aim of this in vivo study was to irrigate with 0.9% NaCl (Natrium Chloride), 2.5 % NaOCl (Sodium Hypochlorite Solution, Sigma Aldrich - Germany) and 2% CHX (Chlorhexidine Digluconate Solution, Sigma Aldrich - Spain) combined with Gaseous Ozone (Prozone WH, Aus...

Introduction Root canal irrigants play an important role in reducing intracanal microorganisms, which in turn helps in achieving a successful outcome for the root canal treatment. Objective To compare the antibacterial efficacy of alexidine and chlorhexidine against Enterococcus faecalis. Methods A total of 50 extracted single-rooted teeth were randomly divided into five groups after being infe...

OBJECTIVE This clinical study was undertaken to compare the effectiveness of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate as irrigants in reducing the cultivable bacterial populations in infected root canals of teeth with apical periodontitis. STUDY DESIGN According to stringent inclusion/exclusion criteria, 32 teeth with primary intraradicular infections and chronic a...

50 INTERNATIONAL DENTISTRY – AUSTRALASIAN EDITION VOL. 7, NO. 1 Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of Tetraclean and 17% EDTA as final irrigants in the removal of the smear layer in the coronal, middle and apical thirds of the instrumented root canal. Methods and Materials: Forty extracted human permanent teeth (n=10) were randomly assigned to 4 groups: no smear layer...

Purpose: To evaluate the bond strengths of two different types of resin luting cements to dentin treated with chemical irrigants and medicaments for root canal treatment. Materials and Methods: The bovine incisors were ground with silicon carbide paper to expose a dentin. Dentin surface was treated with either 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), the combination of H2O2 ...
