Background: E. faecalis is a commonly recovered microbe in failing root canals. Due to limitations of currently popular endodontic irrigants, there is need to find novel antibacterial agents against E. Faecalis. Mupirocin is a broad spectrum antibiotic agent which is effective against gram positive organisms including MRSA. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the antibacterial act...

introduction: one of the main goals of endodontic treatment is to decrease the harboring bacteria within the root canal system and dentinal tubules. this experimental study attempted to investigate the antibacterial efficacy of three root canal irrigants in the presence and absence of smear layer (sl). methods and materials: a total of 210 sound extracted human single-rooted teeth were prepared...

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...

Objectives Over many years, intracanal irrigants have removed smear layers during routine root canal therapy. The efficacies of conventional endodontic chemical are documented, but limited research is available on herbal irrigants' role in the therapy irrigation protocol. This study aimed to evaluate layer removal efficacy, namely, 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic ...

Introduction: antimicrobial activity of irrigants and interappointment intracanal dressing is an important consideration in endodontics . The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of chemomechanical preparation of the necrotic canals with different irrigants and intra canal dressing in the control of root canal infection and sinus tract closure. Materials &Methods: In this ...

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...

This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of different irrigants used to remove endotoxins and cultivable microorganisms during endodontic therapy. Forty root canals were contaminated and divided into groups according to the irrigant: 2% NaOCl + surfactant, 2% CHX, 2.5% NaOCl, and pyrogen-free saline solution (control). Samples were collected after root canal contamination (S1), aft...
