“…This combination has proved to remove debris, smear layer and smear plugs more efficiently than sodium hypochlorite alone. 14,15,17 In the present study, the use of sodium hypochlorite with EDTA did not result in superior cleaning of the root canals, when compared to the two plant extracts analyzed, and accumulation of the smear layer, mainly in the apical third, was observed in all specimens examined. Greater smear layer accumulation in the apical third has also been reported by others.…”

In vitro evaluation of the root canal cleaning ability of plant extracts and their antimicrobial action Abstract: This in vitro study evaluated both the antimicrobial activity and the root canal cleaning ability of plant extracts used in irrigation solutions. The antimicrobial activities of the aroeira-da-praia (Schinus terebintifolius Raddi) and the quixabeira (Syderoxylum obtusifolium Roem & Schult) hydroalcoholic extracts, of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and of 0.12% chlorhexidine (positive control) against Enterococcus faecalis were tested with the agar well diffusion method. The level of root canal cleanliness was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Twenty one single-rooted human teeth were divided into three groups according to the irrigation solution applied: 1) 50% aroeira-da-praia; 2) 50% quixabeira and 3) a combination of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite + 17% EDTA. All solutions tested demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Enterococcus faecalis. The SEM analysis revealed that higher and lower degrees of surface cleaning were observed, in the three groups, respectively for the coronal and apical thirds, in that quixabeira showed the greatest efficiency in removing the smear layer in the apical third. All the agents tested presented antimicrobial activity against E. faecalis. None, however, was able to completely remove the smear layer of the dentinal surface in the different thirds of the root canal. The results suggest that the analyzed plant extracts may represent a new therapeutic option in the list of alternative agents available for endodontic treatment.

“…A number of agents have been used in endodontic therapy as auxiliary chemical solutions during chemical-mechanical preparation. Among these, sodium hypochlorite 14,15,17 and chlorhexidine [18][19][20] have widespread use. This can probably be attributed to their antimicrobial action.…”

“…However, there is still no consensus in the literature regarding the time of formation of this biofilm. Some studies used 24 hours (15)(16)(17)(18), whereas others used 48 hours (19), 72 hours (20), 21 days (21), and even 6 weeks (22).…”

“…SEM has been used to visualize the amount and distribution of bacteria on the surface of the biofilm (13,(18)(19)(20)25). However, it is very debatable for not showing the viability of these bacteria.…”
