Herbal irrigants in primary teeth: A step toward green dentistry based on the wisdom of past

Evaluation of the Antibacterial Efficacy of QMix and AgNP Solutions in Root Canals of Primary Molars: An In-Vitro Study

“…Evidence has shown that necrotic tissues, microorganisms, and their products remain within the dentinal tubules and areas of internal resorption, which cause periapical inflammation. Thus, chemo-mechanical debridement is essential by using a clinically effective irrigant that can also aid in removing organic residues [2]. Sodium hypochlorite's tissue dissolution and antimicrobial properties make it one of the most widely recommended irrigants when used in concentrations between 0.5% and 5.25%.…”

“…The treatment often includes root canals when primary teeth are infected with dental caries. Therefore, the successful outcome of pulpectomy depends on the disinfection of the root canal system, which aims to eliminate or reduce microscopic microorganisms and their toxic products from root canals [ 2 ].…”

“…However, the serious damage caused by its exit to the apical area, even in small amounts, puts a question mark on its high abrasive ability. This may lead to damage of permanent tooth buds due to potential absorption areas in pediatric patients [ 2 ].…”
