BACKGROUND To compare the amount of debris extruded apically by using conventional syringe, Endovac & Ultrasonic irrigation. MATERIALS & METHODS Thirty freshly extracted mandibular premolars were selected, working length was determined and mounted in a debris and collection apparatus. The canals were prepared. After each instrument change, 1 ml. of 3% sodium hypochlorite was used as irrigatio...

Introduction-Debridement is the aim of and also a big challenge to endodontic treatment especially in the apical portion of the root canal. Because of the complexity of the root canal anatomy and the limitations of instrumentation, irrigation has gained increasing attention and one improvement in this respect is irrigant activation. The aim of this study is to Compare the cleaning efficacy of c...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of a sonic device (Vibringe), syringe irrigation, and passive ultrasonic irrigation in the removal of debris from simulated root canal irregularities. METHODS Root canals with 2 standardized grooves in the apical and coronal parts were filled with dentin debris. Three different irrigation procedures were performed with NaOCl (1%...

Title of Thesis: In Vivo Evaluation of Contemporary Endodontic Antimicrobial Procedures Peter Bellingham, Master of Science, 2011 Thesis Directed by: Dr. Ashraf F. Fouad, Professor and Chairman, Director of Postgraduate Endodontics, University of Maryland School of Dentistry Introduction: Clinical assessment of the efficacy of novel root canal disinfection protocols is an important focus in end...

conclusions the designed safe irrigator syringe seems to be applicable in wound irrigation and superior to the conventional devices regarding efficacy and user comfort. results all of the interns stated that the new device is quite applicable for wound washing and is easy to handle. nine interns believed that safe irrigator syringe is superior to the conventional devices regarding efficacy and ...

Background: Wound healing process includes complex phases. Many studies have highlighted the importance of sterile wound washing in the healing process. Non-sterile wound cleansing could delay its healing and result in heavy costs for the health system. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and applicability of a new designed device, Safe Irrigator Syringe, in wound w...

Introduction. This experimental study is to compare radiographs based on the penetration depth of the irrigant following three final irrigation techniques. Material and Method. A sample of sixty teeth with single roots were prepared with stainless steel K files followed by mechanized Ni-Ti files iRace® under irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite. Radiopaque solution was utilized to measure t...

BACKGROUND Irrigating ears to remove wax is a time-consuming procedure in UK primary care. In many other countries bulb syringes are used for self-clearance of earwax but evidence of their effectiveness is lacking. AIM To compare the effectiveness of self-treatment bulb syringes with routine care. DESIGN OF STUDY Open, randomised, controlled trial. SETTING Seven practices in Hampshire, UK...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of conventional syringe, ultrasonic, EndoVac (Discus Dental, Culver City, CA), and Self-Adjusting File (SAF) (Re-Dent-Nova, Ra'nana, Israel) irrigation systems in removing calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH]2) from simulated root canal irregularities. METHODS The root canals of 88 extracted single-rooted teeth were prepared using ProTaper r...
