“…QMix is composed of EDTA, CHX, and a surfactant. The addition of surfactant to the chelating agent leads to reduction in dentin microhardness as it reduces the surface tension 13 and hence, increases the ability of the chelator to penetrate the dentin easily, but the results of the present study showed that QMix causes the least reduction in microhardness of the root canal dentin. This is in accordance with a study done by Kara Tuncer et al 1 The present study revealed that all irrigation solutions decreased dentin microhardness with the exception of saline.…”

Aim:To compare the effect of QMix, a mixture of tetracycline, citric acid, and detergent (MTAD), and ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA) on the microhardness of the root canal dentin. Materials and methods:A total of 30 single-rooted teeth were decoronated at 15 mm from the root apex. Root canal instrumentation using step back technique was done and the specimens were split into two halves using diamond disc. These were embedded in acrylic blocks and sent for testing by Vickers hardness test. The other half of the specimens was divided into four groups. Control group: In this, normal saline was used. Group I: MTAD was used. Group II: 17% EDTA was used. Group IV: QMix 2 in 1 (DENTSPLY) was used. The specimens were immersed in test irrigant for 5 minutes in closed glass plates. The tested specimens were sent for Vickers hardness test under 100 gm load for 15 seconds. The post Vickers hardness number readings were recorded and sent for statistical analysis.Results: Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and least significant difference post hoc test was applied for pairwise comparison. QMix showed significantly less reduction in microhardness than EDTA and QMix: Normal saline > QMix>EDTA>MTAD. Conclusion:QMix as a root canal irrigant is efficient as it caused least reduction of microhardness of dentin. It has antibacterial properties and is also efficient for smear layer removal.

“…Saponins also can remove inorganic debris because its hydrophilic group can bind Ca 2+ ions in the root canal wall that contains of hydroxyapatite, so saponins can remove organic and inorganic debris of root canal wall. 3 The group irrigated with 2.5% NaOCl showed poor results compared to the group irrigated with 0.002% saponin extract of mangosteen peel. This is because NaOCl does not have any ability to clean up inorganic debris.…”

“…Removal of the smear layer may enhance the penetration of sealers into dentinal tubules and the adaptation of obturation materials to the root canal walls. 2,3 Several irrigants and irrigant delivery systems are available, which behave differently and have relative advantages and disadvantages. Common root-canal irrigants consist of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), chlorhexidine gluconate, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (eDTA).…”

“…Three indentations were made from the middle third of the root canal at a depth of 100 µm from the pulp-dentin junction and spaced at 100 µm from each indentation. Akcay and Sen (2012), and Oliveira et al (2007) designated an equivalent configuration for the load and dwell time which was based on the inverse correlation between dentin microhardness and tubular density which was initially described by Pashley et al (1985). Hence, a 50 g load with a 10 second dwell time through the Vickers Microhardness Tester was used (Akcay & Sen, 2012;Oliveira et al, 2007).…”

“…Approximately 5 mL of selected experimented irrigants were used in each glass plate to ensure root surfaces were adequately submerged in the irrigants. This is to standardize each specimen to the respective irrigants in a selected period of time which closely resembles the clinical exposure duration, similar to previous studies by Akcay and Sen (2012) and Ulusoy and Görgül (2013). Subsequently, the specimens were then removed from the glass plates and the root surfaces were immediately flushed with 10 mL of 0.9% normal saline (Ain Medicare, Malaysia) to remove any residual irrigant on the root surfaces.…”

It has been established that conventional root canal irrigants cause detrimental effect on the physico-chemical properties of root dentin. This study aims to determine the effect of a novel root irrigant, ginger or Zingiber officinale Roscoe essential oil on root dentin microhardness. Eighty root halves of extracted human teeth were used and prepared by embedding them individually in autopolymerizing acrylic resin. These samples were then divided into four groups (n = 20 each), i.e., i) 0.5% Z. officinale Roscoe oil, ii) 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl, positive control), iii) 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA, positive control) and iv) normal saline (negative control). Dentin microhardness was measured using Vickers Microhardness Tester with a 50 g load and a 10-second dwell time, before and after immersion in respective solutions for 5 minutes. Measurements were taken in Vickers hardness number (VHN). All samples showed reduction in the microhardness reading; with Z. officinale Roscoe: 34.24 to 25.89, NaOCl: 31.47 to 26.34, EDTA: 33.08 to 26.04 and saline: 29.82 to 27.61 VHN. Although there was significant reduction within the Z. officinale Roscoe group (p < 0.001), the change was indifferent when compared among groups (post hoc Tukey's HSD test p > 0.05). Within the limitations of this study, Zingiber officinale Roscoe essential oil does alter dentin microhardness but to a similar extent as NaOCl and EDTA.
