OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the cleaning ability of a self-adjusting file (SAF) system regarding debris and smear layer removal using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or MTAD. STUDY DESIGN In total, 45 maxillary incisor teeth were randomly divided into 2 different irrigation groups of 20 canals each and a negative control group of 5 canals. The canals in each of t...

The objective of this research was to assess the effects several irrigation solutions (ISOLs) on two major (P and Ca) some minor (Fe, Zn, Sr) elements multi-root canals radicular dentin in upper premolar teeth using X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF). Powder fifty specimens were prepared divided into five groups based treatments with different single combined ISOLs. These were: G1-distilled wate...

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...

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...

introduction: this study aimed to compare the subcutaneous tissue responses to mtad (mixture of a tetracycline isomer, an acid, and a detergent), 17% edta, and 2.6% naocl. materials and methods: thirty-six wistar albino rats were used for this study.  test solutions were injected subcutaneously into predetermined areas on the animal dorsum. the rats were then randomly divided into three groups ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of the present study was to compare 1.3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in MTAD (mixture of tetracycline isomer, acid, and detergent) for the removal of the smear layer and induction of canal erosion. MATERIALS AND METHODS 38 maxillary incisors were divided in three experimental groups of 10 and two positive and negative control groups of each 4 teeth, and prepared us...
