Quantitative analysis of SmearOFF and different irrigation activation techniques on removal of smear layer: A scanning electron microscope study

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of SmearOFF solution on smear layer removal by using different irrigation activation techniques. One hundred and twenty mandibular premolars were decoronated, and instrumented with Reciproc up to size 50. Then, the specimens were divided into 6 groups according to the

“…Furthermore, more extensive tubular penetration was observed in the cervical third when compared with the middle and apical thirds. This corroborates the ndings of studies in the literature, in which they reveal that the depth of penetration of the sealer varies in the cervical, middle and apical thirds [30,[52][53][54], since the apical region has the lowest number and smallest diameter of dentin tubules per square millimeter [55,56].…”

“…According to the observation methodology, a total of 640 angles were obtained. A “substantial” inter- and intraobserver agreement for continuous measurements identified values of 0.96 and 0.98 for the correlation coefficient, respectively (CC: 0.96–0.98; 95% CI (−2.28–2.41) P = 0.73) confirming no difference between them [ 21 ].…”

“…The count recorded the number of tubules per field for every third in each hemiroot. Later, two 20 × 20 µ m areas were randomly selected from each sample in order to calculate the area of each tubule, with the formula π∗a∗b in µ m, where a is the height and b is the width of the tubule [ 21 ].…”

“…removal from root canal walls by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). [7][8][9] Nevertheless, SEM is a qualitative score-based method 10 which uses 2D projections 11 and its use is limited to single-rooted teeth with straight roots. 12 Moreover, it provides a limited view of the location and distribution of the debris into the system.…”
