Journal ArticleDOI
Root canal irrigants.
TL;DR: Based on the actions and interactions of currently available solutions, a clinical irrigating regimen is proposed and some technical aspects of irrigating the root canal system are discussed, and recent trends are critically inspected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soft tissue dissolution capacity of currently used and potential endodontic irrigants.
TL;DR: This study assessed the necrotic tissue dissolution capacity of some popular and some potential root-canal irrigants and it was concluded that this might be important when considering the use of irrigants other than NaOCl.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remineralization of human dentin using ultrafine bioactive glass particles

TL;DR: The substantially higher remineralization rate induced by nanometer-sized vs. micrometric bioactive glass particles corroborated the importance of particle size in clinical bioglass applications and was suggested to be attributed to an imperfect arrangement of the newly deposited mineral within the demineralized tooth matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chelation in root canal therapy reconsidered.
TL;DR: Assessment of interactions of EDTA and citric acid (CA) with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), the indispensable endodontic irrigant, indicated that NaOCl had no negative effect on calcium-complexing ability of chelators, and STP was too weak a complexing agent to warrant further studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of temperature on sodium hypochlorite short-term stability, pulp dissolution capacity, and antimicrobial efficacy.
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to test some effects of preheating NaOCl solutions using a commercially available syringe heating device, and a 100-fold increase in killing efficacy was observed between corresponding NaO Cl solutions at 20 degrees C and 45 degrees C.
