“…They had a success rate of 10-20% removal within the apical third. Similar results for the conventional irrigation method were achieved by Abarajithan et al .,[17] Lui et al . [4] demonstrated the effectiveness of PUI for removal of the SR, with success in areas that were 6 and 2 mm from the apical zone.…”

“…The negative pressure irrigation system offers the possibility of safe and effective cleansing, especially in the apical region of the root canal. [521] In the coronal and middle regions, successful results have been achieved in other studies[1722] using the EndoVac system, as in the present study. However, it achieved no complete success in the apical region.…”

Objectives:To evaluate effectiveness of the apical negative pressure irrigation (EndoVac), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), and conventional needle irrigation (CI) systems on smear layer (SR) removal.Materials and Methods:Sixty single-rooted canines were prepared using NiTi rotary files and subjected to different irrigation regimens: EndoVac with NaOCl (Group 1) or NaOCl/EDTA (Group 2); PUI with NaOCl (Group 3) or NaOCl/EDTA (Group 4); CI with NaOCl (Group 5) or NaOCl/EDTA (Group 6). The roots were split longitudinally. SEM images were taken to evaluate the amount of residual SR.Results:In Groups 1, 3, and 5, there was no removal of SR (P > 0.05). The coronal thirds within Groups 2, 4, and 6 were cleaned completely, but the middle and the apical thirds was achieved partially or completely (P > 0.05).Conclusion:Regardless of which irrigation system was used, the use of NaOCl alone failed to remove the SR. In NaOCl/EDTA combination groups, the SR was removed partially or completely and no statistical significance. This study demonstrated that in order to remove the SR should be used EDTA solution for final irrigation in the root canal, regardless of the technique in each of the three.

“…Although an identical volume of EDTA was used in both groups, the more efficient smear layer removal by EV was likely due to the turbulence created by the negative pressure in the EV system. Additionally, the direction of fluid flow was from the coronal to apical area in EV, but apical to coronal in conventional NI [24].…”

“…Diversos autores compararam a remoção de debris obtida com o sistema EndoVac e outros dispositivos auxiliares na irrigação e aspiração (Nielsen;Baumgartner, 2007;Heilborn et al, 2010;Parente et al, 2010;Abarajithan et al, 2011;Saber;Hashem, 2011;Howard et al, 2011;Ribeiro et al, 2012 (Pecora et al, 1991;Tasman et al, 2000;Teixeira et al, 2005;Giardino et al, 2006;Huang et al, 2008). O volume total utilizado com o sistema EndoVac é maior do que o utilizado com irrigação convencional dentro do mesmo período de tempo (Nielsen;Baumgartner, 2007;Kurtzman, 2009;Brunson et al, 2010) e poderia ter favorecido os resultados deste sistema caso este cuidado não fosse tomado.…”

"O conhecimento científico é cumulativo, dependente do desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias e idéias. Nossas verdades permanecem verdadeiras até que alguém demonstre que elas são incompletas. No mínimo, esta perspectiva deveria nos ensinar a defender nossas verdades temporárias com a humildade de quem aprende com o passado." The present study aimed to analyze in vivo the effectiveness of root canal preparation on bacterial reduction in patients's teeth with primary apical periodontitis. Marcelo Gleiser RESUMOSamples were collected from 20 patients before (S1) and after (S2) preparation with ProTaper rotary files, varying only the technique used for irrigation and aspiration:Group A (conventional irrigation -n = 10) and Group B (with the aid of EndoVac system -n = 10). After extraction, the DNA present in the samples was quantified by real-time PCR with the SYBR Green method, identifying the number of 16SrRNA gene copies. In all samples, except for a post-preparation case with EndoVac, copies of the target gene were identified. Average for all cases was 1,6 X 10 8 and 8,8 X 10 5 copies of the 16SrRNA, before and after preparation, respectively. For the groups separately, the same values were 2,0 X 10 8 and 5,5 X 10 5 (conventional) and 1,1 X 10 8 and 1,2 X 10 6 (EndoVac). The mean percentage of reduction was 97.52% (97.02% for the conventional and 98.04% for the EndoVac). The Mann-Whitney test concluded that both techniques significantly reduced the microrganisms after preparation (p<0,0001), with no differences between them (p=0,9705). None of the techniques were effective in the complete elimination of bacteria under this methodology. The antibacterial efficacy of the EndoVac system under this methodology was similar to that obtained with conventional irrigation and aspiration.
