INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a nanosilver-based irrigant on dentin roughness in comparison with three commonly used root canal irrigation solutions. METHODS AND MATERIALS Three common irrigants including 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) and also an imidazolium-based silver nanoparticle ...

AIM To assess radiographically irrigant penetration in the root canal system of curved roots during root canal shaping procedures ex vivo. METHODOLOGY Thirty extracted mandibular molar teeth with moderate to severe curvature were used. A special aiming device was used to guarantee that each successive radiograph was taken with the same positioning. The mesiolingual canal of each tooth was ins...

results the mean of the inhibition zone diameter around the discs of green tea extract in all concentrations was significantly less than 1% sodium hypochlorite (p < 0.001). the antimicrobial effect increased in higher concentrations of extracts of green tea (p < 0.001). conclusions although the antimicrobial effect increases in higher concentrations of extracts of green tea, 1% sodium hypochlor...

The presence of endotoxin inside the root canal has been associated with periapical inflammation, bone resorption and symptomatic conditions.Objectives To determine, in vitro, the effect of QMix® and other three root canal irrigants in reducing the endotoxin content in root canals.Material and Methods Root canals of single-rooted teeth were prepared. Samples were detoxified with Co-60 irradiati...

As indicated by standards of modern dentistry, the essence endodontic treatment is chemo-mechanical disinfection root canal system. The vital element this process irrigation canals with designated solutions as well activating them. This review article summarizes various techniques activation irrigants for such manual activation, thermal, pressure, sonic, ultrasonic, and laser in order to compar...

introduction : the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a newly introduced nanosilver based irrigant on dentin roughness in comparison with three commonly used root canal irrigants. material and methods : irrigants tested were: naocl 5.25%, edta 17%, chx 2% and newly introduced imidazolium-based silver nanoparticle (im agnp) irrigant at 5.8×10 -8 mol/l. distilled water was used as con...

the purpose of the review was to assess the effect of root canal irrigants on dentin bonding. a pubmed-based search was conducted on the articles published from 1980 to 2016. a brief overview and reviewing the effect on dentin bonding of common root canal irrigation solutions such as sodium hypochlorite (naocl), chlorhexidine (chx), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta), mixture of a tetracycl...
