TLDR
The new model made it possible to compare the effectiveness of several disinfecting solutions in killing bacteria inside dentin by a noninvasive CLSM method and revealed a heavy invasion by E. faecalis deep into the dentinal tubules.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Irrigation in endodontics.
TL;DR: Different means of delivery are used for root canal irrigation, from traditional syringe-needle delivery to various machine-driven systems, including automatic pumps and sonic or ultrasonic energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial and smear layer removal ability of a novel irrigant, QMiX.
TL;DR: QMiX and NaOCl were superior to CHX and MTAD under laboratory conditions in killing E. faecalis and plaque bacteria in planktonic and biofilm culture and ability to remove smear layer was comparable to EDTA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of Endodontic Disinfecting Solutions against Young and Old Enterococcus faecalis Biofilms in Dentin Canals
TL;DR: Within dentin canals, bacteria in established biofilms are less easily killed by endodontic medicaments than bacteria in young biofilm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of the source of biofilm bacteria, level of biofilm maturation, and type of disinfecting agent on the susceptibility of biofilm bacteria to antibacterial agents.
TL;DR: The results emphasize the importance of knowing the maturation timeline of each biofilm model used to test the effectiveness of endodontic disinfecting agents against biofilm bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dental materials with antibiofilm properties
TL;DR: The features involved in the formation of oral biofilms on different surfaces in the oral cavity and the antibiofilm properties of dental materials are described and improved in specific antimicrobial design in the composition and application of new materials.

The effects of surgical exposures of dental pulps in germ-free and conventional laboratory rats
TL;DR: The results indicate that the presence or absence of a microbial flora is the major determinant in the healing of exposed rodent pulps, even in the face of gross food impactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disinfection by endodontic irrigants and dressings of experimentally infected dentinal tubules.
Dag Ørstavik,Markus Haapasalo +1 more
TL;DR: Endodontic medicaments were applied to infected specimen for comparison of antibacterial potency, and camphorated p-monochlorophenol was generally more efficient than Calasept, and of the irrigants tested, iodine potassium iodide appeared more potent than sodium hypochlorite or chlorhexidine.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro infection and disinfection of dentinal tubules
Markus Haapasalo,Dag Ørstavik +1 more
TL;DR: An in vitro model for dentinal tubule infection of root canals was developed and proved quite sensitive and seems suitable for in vitro testing of root canal medicaments.

In vitro antimicrobial activity of several concentrations of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine gluconate in the elimination of Enterococcus faecalis
Brenda Paula Figueiredo de Almeida Gomes,Caio Cezar Randi Ferraz,Morgana E. Vianna,V. B. Berber,Fabricio B. Teixeira,Francisco José de Souza-Filho +5 more
TL;DR: Even though all tested irrigants possessed antibacterial activity, the time required to eliminate E. faecalis depended on the concentration and type of irrigant used.

Chemomechanical Reduction of the Bacterial Population in the Root Canal after Instrumentation and Irrigation with 1%, 2.5%, and 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that regular exchange and the use of large amounts of irrigant should maintain the antibacterial effectiveness of the NaOCl solution, compensating for the effects of concentration.
