Endodontic emergencies are associated with pain and swelling which requires immediate diagnosis and treatment. The main causative factors for these emergencies are pulp and peri-radicular pathosis, traumatic injuries, procedural complications; were sodium hypochlorite accidents can occur. The impetus behind a successful root canal treatment relies on a thorough debridement of tissue remnants, b...

background: the aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial efficacy of endemic satureja khuzistanica jamzad (skj) essential oil as root canal irrigation versus 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and 2% chlorhexidine gluconate.     methods: in current in vitro experimental study, fifty four single-rooted teeth were randomly divided into 6 groups of 9 samples: 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (naocl), 2% c...

introduction: effective debridement of the root canal system with chemical irrigants prior to obturation is the key to long-term success of endodontic therapy. the purpose of this study is to compare the antibacterial activity of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (naocl) and 2% iodine potassium iodide (iki) solutions as intracanal disinfectant in infected root canals during one-visit endodontic treatmen...

The purpose of this study was to compare the antibacterial properties of Azadirachta indica (neem) or Curcuma longa (turmeric) against Enterococcus faecalis with those of 5% sodium hypochlorite or 2% chlorhexidine as root canal irrigants in vitro. The activity of neem, chlorhexidine, sodium hypochlorite, or turmeric against E. faecalis was measured on agar plates using the agar diffusion method...

INTRODUCTION Irrigants play an essential role in the successful debridement and disinfection of pulp space. Various combination of irrigants used during root canal treatment enhance their efficacy, but some form precipitates which affects the diffusion of intracanal medicaments and the seal of the obturated root canal. AIM To evaluate the combination of various irrigants whether it forms the ...

Endodontic treatment is a predictable procedure with high success rates. Success depends on a number of factors, including appropriate instrumentation, successful irrigation and decontamination of the root-canal space to the apices and in areas such as isthmuses. These steps must be followed by complete obturation of the root canals, and placement of a coronal seal, prior to restorative treatme...

I NTRODUCT ION The Er:YAG laser, emitting at 2940 nm, can be a valuable tool for root canal debridement and improved pathogen reduction during endodontic treatment. The ability to successfully negotiate and remove the smear layer and bacteria continues to be a challenge for nonsurgical endodontic treatment in root canal systems. Current instrumentation techniques use both hand and ultrasonic ir...

Complete eradication of microbial biofilms and elimination of the smear layer are the key factors during endodontic treatment. Various chemical irrigants have been proposed in the literature for the same. The major setback with these chemical irrigants is that they are not bio-friendly to the dental and peri-radicular tissues. In the recent years, research to use natural products for root canal...

Chemomechanical preparation of the root canal includes both mechanical instrumentation and antibacterial irrigation, and is principally directed toward the elimination of micro-organisms from the root canal system. A variety of instruments and techniques have been developed and described for this critical stage of root canal treatment. Since their introduction in 1988, nickel-titanium (NiTi) ro...
