The In Vivo Evaluation of Hand/Rotary/Ultrasound Instrumentation in Necrotic, Human Mandibular Molars

Irrigation effectiveness of continuous ultrasonic irrigation system: An <i>ex vivo</i> study

“…Although the CUIS (CUI with saline) was able to completely remove the SL at the coronal level in 5 specimens that might be due to the ultrasonication, it was unable to remove the SL more apically. Previous studies revealed that ultrasonic irrigation cannot get through the apical area due to vapor lock 23,44) . However, with the aid of NaOCl, results showed the maximum SL removal in the apical third was attained equally with the EV and CUI (Table 3).…”

Pressure Alteration Techniques in Endodontics- A Review of Literature

“…This may be due to the much higher velocity and volume of irrigant flow that are created in the canal during ultrasonic irrigation. Ultrasonics can effectively clean debris and bacteria from the root canal system, but cannot effectively get through the apical vapor lock [31][32][33].…”

Evaluation of Post-Operative Pain After Irrigation Using End-Vented Navitip Tips Versus Side-Vented Navitip Tips in Teeth With Irreversible Pulpitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial Part Vi.

“…Pain was categorized into four categorical scores: none, mild [1][2][3], moderate [4][5][6], severe [7][8][9][10]. Secondary outcomes measured were the placebo intake incidence, analgesic intake incidence and number of analgesic pills needed at each time point as recorded by the patient.…”

“…Successful endodontic treatment can be achieved through proper chemo-mechanical preparation as mechanical instrumentation only is insufficient for complete cleaning and shaping of the root canal system due to the complex anatomy harboring tissue debris and microbes (2) .…”
