Morphometrical analysis of cleaning capacity using nickel-titanium rotary instrumentation associated with irrigating solutions in mesio-distal flattened root canals

Abstract: Variations in the internal anatomy of root canals may interfere with the success of root canal because tissue remnants may remain in the isthmus, re-entrances and ramifications of flattened root canals making instrumentation more difficult. Successful root canal treatment depends fundamentally on shaping, cleaning, disinfection and obturation. This study verified the quality of cleaning of ProFile .04 rotary technique associated with different irrigating solutions: 0.5% sodium hypochlorite, calcium hydroxide +… Show more

“…In this study, apical cleaning was assessed by the morphometric analysis of root cross-sections to determine the percent canal areas occupied by debris, as reported elsewhere (7,13,14). The morphometric analysis was performed with Image Tool software, an image-analysis software that provides good acuity and accurate measurements of delineated areas (7,14).…”

“…2,3 However, the complex internal anatomy of root canals compromises their proper cleaning. 3,4,5 Isthmuses and irregularities are most prevalent in the middle thirds of flattened roots, because of straightening in the mesiodistal direction, such as in mandibular incisors, mandibular premolars, and the mesial roots of mandibular molars. Usually, instruments do not touch these areas, leaving microorganisms and debris, contributing to the failure of endodontic treatment.…”

“…Cleaning occurs simultaneously with biomechanical preparation, elimination of bacteria, their sub-products, degenerated pulp tissue and contaminated dentin creating a surgical space that permits proper sealing 1 . However, conventional root canal preparation and rinsing solutions cannot always eliminate the remaining bacteria in the root canal 2 .…”
