Efficiency of final irrigation of root canal in removal of smear layer

Abstract

Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that MTAD is an efficient solution for the final irrigation of the canal system.

The Importance of Final Irrigation with Mineralolithic Effect Agents During Chemomechanical Treatment of Tooth Root Canal

“…The most frequently used irrigants with organolithic effects are sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, chloramines, chlorhexidine. The final irrigants with mineralolithic effect are 17% NaEDTA, 10% citric acid, and the solution of recent date -MTAD (Biopure, Tulsa Dentsply, Tulsa OK, USA) -a combination of tetracyclines containing weak organic acids and anion-active substances (Torabinejad et al, 2002Kando et al, 1991;Di Lenardda, 2000;Mitić et al, 2009;Yamaguchi et al, 1996;Haapasalo et al, 2005;Mitić, 2010). The purpose of the present research was to analyze the surface of intracanal dentin after instrumentation and irrigation by organolithic agents (2.5% sodium hypochlorite, 3% hydrogen peroxide, 2% chlorhexidine) and final irrigation by mineralolithic effect solutions (17% NaEDTA, 10% citric acid and MTAD solution).…”

“…However, a considerable portion of infection is located deeper, in the lateral canals, apical ramifications and dentinal tubules (Hülsmann et al, 1997;Matuse et al, 2003;Živković et al, 2005). It is precisely those anatomic variabilities and physiological specificities of endodontic and periodontal tissues that make impeding factors in endodontic infection resolving (Gašić et al, 2003;Mitić et al, 2009;Chacker 1974;De Deus, 1975). All chemomechanical techniques of canal preparation leave considerable amounts of debris and smear layer (Živković et al, 2005;Mitić, 2008).…”

Choice of root canal irrigants by Serbian dental practitioners

“…Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), a chelating agent that helps in removing the inorganic component of the smear layer 14 , is also known as one of frequently applied root canal irrigants 10 . Local anesthetic solution has been reported as routinely used endodontic irrigant amongst some dentists in UK 15 , while hydrogen peroxide of 3% was popular and widely used amongst Serbian dentists in Serbia previously 16,17 .…”

Effects of Laser Treatment on Intracanal Dentine and Cementum at the Root Apex

“…Nowadays, Er:YAG (Erbium: YAG) laser, that belongs to a modern laser generation with a high water absorption rate, has most often been used in endodontic procedure. The optimal parameters of Er:YAG laser for endodontic treatment are the wavelength of 2940 nm with pulse duration of 50-300 ms, pulse repetition rate of 10-100 Hz and power of 15 W. It's a universal laser with a wide range of contact tips for the root canal treatment (9)(10)(11)(12).…”
