In vitro study of effect of solvent on root canal retreatment

Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of five different solvents: xylol, eucalyptol, halothane, chloroform and orange oil on softening gutta-percha in simulated root canals. One drop of solvent was placed into a reservoir made in a simulated canal whose channel was previously instrumented and filled with gutta-percha and N-Rickert sealer. After 5 min, softening was evaluated for each solvent by the penetration of a spreader while applying force with a 442 Instron apparatus to reach a depth of 5… Show more

“…Therefore, orange oil would be a suitable alternative solvent to promote gutta-percha dissolution compared with potentially toxic solvents such as xylol. 21 Further, the use of orange oil in endodontics is increasing because of its safety, biocompatibility, and non-carcinogenicity. 22 Although the solvents facilitated filling removal of the material, they also probably contributed to creating a residual filling layer on the canal walls 11 which affected the penetration of the sealer into the dentinal tubules after retreatment, reducing its bond strength in the intraradicular dentin.…”

“…7,9,10,11 Xylol is an organic solvent that has the capacity to solubilize endodontic sealers, including epoxy resin-based sealer. 12,13 It is routinely used in endodontic retreatment techniques, including manual and rotatory approaches, for removing obturation material from the root canal.…”

“…19 Orange peel oil is excellent to dissolve gutta-percha compared to other potentially toxic solvents. 20 In fact, the use of essential oils in Endodontics has increased because they are proven to be safe, biocompatible and noncarcinogenic. 21 For this reason, gutta-percha was removed with orange peel oil in the present clinical case.…”
