[PMID: 38716871 DOI: 10.1002/jemt.24594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of different irrigation techniques including standard needle irrigation (SNI), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), EndoActivator (EA), XP-Endo Finisher (XPF), photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS), and shock wave enhanced emission photo-acoustic streaming (SWEEPS) systems on the penetration of irrigation solutions into dentinal tubules in teeth with calcium hydroxide (CH) applied and oval-shaped canals by confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Ninety mandibular incisor teeth with oval-shaped canals were included in this study. After the preparation of teeth using Resiproc Blue R25 (VDW, Munich, Germany) canals were filled with a paste based on CH. The teeth were stored in 100% humidity at a temperature of 37°C for 14 days. According to the irrigation activation systems, the teeth were divided into six groups (n = 15); SNI, PUI, EA, XPF, PIPS, and SWEEPS. In each group, 3 irrigation/activation cycles of 20 s of irrigation and 20 s of activation were performed with the relevant activation method. The root canals were filled with fluorescein sodium (Sigma, Alldrich Co., St. Louis, MO, USA) and activated with the relevant activation method for 30 s. Specimens were sectioned horizontally to 1 ± 0.1 mm at 2, 5, and 8 mm from the apex and then examined under the CLSM. Maximum penetration depth, maximum penetration area and penetration percentage were measured by using Image J software. Data were analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and posthoc Tukey tests (p = .05). No difference was found between the activation systems in terms of maximum penetration depth and maximum penetration area of irrigation solutions in the apical section (p > .05). The penetration percentage of irrigation solutions was higher in PUI and PIPS compared with EA and XPF at the apical section (p < .05). No difference was found between SNI, PUI, PIPS, and SWEEPS in terms of the penetration percentage of irrigation solutions in all sections (p > .05). The penetration percentage of irrigation solutions was higher in the middle and coronal sections compared to the apical section in EA and XPF (p < .05). Tubule penetration of irrigation solutions in SNI was similar between sections. The Tubule penetration area of irrigation solutions in PUI, EA, XPF, PIPS, and SWEEPS was lower in the apical section than in the middle and coronal sections. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: The tubule penetration depth and area of the irrigation solutions were similar between the activation systems tested in the apical sections. The Tubule penetration area of irrigation solutions in middle and coronal sections was higher in PUI and PIPS than in SNI.

Sci Rep 2024; 14:19705. [PMID: 39181901 PMCID: PMC11344831 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-69849-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of different techniques in removing calcium silicate intracanal medicament (Bio-C Temp). Forty human single-canaled premolars were randomly distributed into five groups (n = 8). All root canals were instrumented, then filled with Bio-C Temp. Following 1-week incubation, the intra-canal medicament was removed using one of five techniques according to tooth group: conventional syringe irrigation, Endo Activator, passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), ProTaper Universal F3 and XP-endo Finisher (XPF). Micro-CT scanning was performed before and after removal of Bio-C Temp. All techniques significantly reduced the volume of Bio-C Temp (p < 0.001) without reaching complete elimination. The percentage of Bio-C Temp removed was significantly higher in the XPF group (98.2%) compared to conventional syringe irrigation (70.6%), the Endo Activator (75.7%), and the ProTaper Universal (76.6%). There was no significant difference between the XPF and PUI (95.1%) groups. None of the removal techniques were able to completely remove Bio-C Temp from the root canal. However, XPF was the most effective method, but was not statistically significant when compared to PUI. Clinical Relevance: This study demonstrated that both XPF and PUI outperform conventional irrigation in removing Bio-C Temp intracanal medicament.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the efficacy of different activation techniques in removing calcium hydroxide (Ultracal XS), Ledermix, and Bio-C Temp from simulated internal root resorption (IRR) cavities. MATERIALS AND METHODS 108 single-rooted maxillary incisors were prepared using Reciproc R50 files. Simulated IRR cavities, 2 mm in diameter and located 8 mm from the apex, were created. Ultracal XS, Ledermix, and Bio-C Temp were applied to the samples, grouped by irrigation activation techniques: Standard Needle Irrigation (SNI), EDDY, Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation (PUI), and XP-endo Finisher (XPF). Medicament removal efficacy was evaluated using a standardized scoring system. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS XPF and PUI were more effective than SNI in medicament removal across the groups, with no significant difference. EDDY showed no significant difference than other groups. Ledermix was more effectively removed in all activation groups compared to Bio-C Temp. The XPF was superior in removing Ultracal XS compared to Bio-C Temp. However, none of the groups achieved complete medicament removal. CONCLUSIONS XPF and PUI techniques enhance medicament removal efficacy. Bio-C Temp was more difficult to remove from the IRR cavities than other medicaments. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Bio-C Temp could be removed from the canals less effectively compared to calcium hydroxide and Ledermix. Among the tested irrigation activation methods, XPF and PUI were found to be more effective at removing the tested medicaments.

PeerJ 2024; 12:e17826. [PMID: 39071126 PMCID: PMC11283773 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.17826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The present study evaluated the effect of a bioceramic intracanal medicament (Bio-C Temp) on the push-out bond strength of bioceramic cements. Methods Forty-eight human single-canaled premolars were prepared and randomly divided into three groups: Group (A) received no intracanal medicament; Group (B) calcium hydroxide (CH); and Group (C) Bio-C Temp. After medicament removal, the roots were sectioned transversely. The slices in each group were separated into two subgroups (n = 16): in Subgroup (1), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was placed, and in Subgroup (2) Bio-C Repair. Push-out bond strength was determined using a universal testing machine, applying a constant compressive force on the cement until bond failure. The failure mode was also evaluated. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc tests. The level of significance was set at 5%. Results The pushout bond strength of Bio-C Repair was significantly higher than that of MTA irrespective of intracanal medication (p = 0.005). The placement of Bio-C Temp was associated with significantly lower bond strength (p = 0.002, p = 0.001). Conclusion Bio-C Repair showed better bond strength compared to MTA, irrespective of intracanal medication. Bio-C Temp intracanal medicament, however, decreased the bond strength of both these cements.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of the XP-Endo Finisher (XPF), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and conventional irrigation using side-vented needle (SVN) on the amount of apically extruded debris and canal cleanliness following the removal of double antibiotic paste (DAP) from immature root canal models. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-eight extracted mandibular premolars were drilled using peeso drills to simulate immature apices. The canals were filled with DAP and were randomly assigned into 3 groups according to the DAP removal method: XPF, PUI, and SVN (n = 16). The amount of extruded debris was assessed with an analytical balance then roots were split longitudinally and imaged using stereomicroscope to evaluate the residual medicament. Data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's test. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to determine significant correlation between extruded debris and the residual DAP scores. RESULTS There was no significant difference between debris extrusion values for all groups (P value 0.237). For canal cleanliness, the amount of remaining DAP was significantly lower in the XPF and PUI compared to SVN (P value < 0.001). A non-significant positive (direct) correlation was found between the amounts of apically extruded debris and residual DAP scores (P value 0.087). CONCLUSION XPF and PUI were associated with better canal cleanliness during removal of DAP, no difference could be found between the three irrigation techniques regarding the debris extrusion.

Abstract
The present case describes the successful healing of a periapical lesion associated with the left maxillary lateral incisor (# 22, Federation Dentaire Internationale) having a type 3b dens invaginatus tooth morphology. The treatment was complicated by the presence of blunderbuss root apex and large periapical lesion (>10 mm) with through and through bone defect (Bucco palatal cortical bone perforation, Von Arx Type 1b). An adolescent boy reported palatal swelling and pus discharge in relation to tooth #22. A thorough clinical and radiographic examination revealed tooth #22 as having a type 3b dens invaginatus with an open apex and a diagnosis of pulp necrosis and acute apical abscess. The case was managed by non-surgical root canal treatment followed by endodontic surgery using principles of guided tissue regeneration. A 5-year recall revealed an asymptomatic functional tooth with complete healing.

Abstract
The present study aims to assess the efficacy of different irrigation agitation systems in removing calcium silicate-based sealers from artificial standardised apical grooves. After the root canal instrumentation of 96 teeth, artificial apical grooves were created in half of each root. The samples were divided into two main groups according to the sealer type (AH Plus Jet [APJ] and Sure-Seal Root™ [SSR]) (n = 48). The root halves were then reassembled and divided into four experimental groups based on the final irrigation technique used: Conventional Syringe Irrigation (CSI), Ultrasonic Irrigant Agitation (UIA), Sonic Agitation (SA) and Manual Dynamic Agitation (MDA). The roots were then dissembled to assess the amount of root canal sealer. UIA significantly removed more of SSR sealer than CSI, MDA and SA while there was no statistical difference between CSI, MDA, SA and UIA groups in the APJ group. None of the irrigation agitation systems used had completely removed the APJ and SSR sealers. However, UIA was more effective in removing SSR sealer from the standardised apical groove than were CSI, MDA and SA.

Abstract
To compare the efficiency of conventional needle irrigation, passive ultrasonic irrigation, sonic irrigation and XP-endo Finisher in removing Vitapex paste from root canals. The root canals of human single-rooted teeth were prepared and obturated with Vitapex paste. After 2 weeks, the 48 teeth were randomly allocated into four groups: conventional needle irrigation (CNI) group, passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) group, sonic irrigation (SI) group and XP-endo Finisher (XP) group. The specimens of four groups were scanned using a micro-computed tomography after the Vitapex pastes was removed. The results showed that more residual paste was left in the CNI group than in the other three groups (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference among the PUI, SI and XP group (p > 0.05). And, the majority of the residual Vitapex was found in the apical third, with a small amount in the middle third after using any of the three agitated irrigation techniques.

Abstract
This study compared the efficacy of several passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) systems in removing intracanal medicament using 3-dimensionally printed root canal model assembled with dentin specimen. After the placement of the model in the agar container (37°C), the intracanal medicament was removed using three different PUI instruments including CK file, Irrisafe and Endosonic Blue. Then, the area coated by the medicament and the volumetric percentage of the remaining medicament was measured. Irrisafe and Endosonic Blue showed higher removal efficacy than CK and the control regarding both the coated area and remaining volume (p < 0.05). CK showed the lowest efficacy among the tested PUI systems (p > 0.05). Notably, Endosonic Blue group showed the smallest coated area among the tested groups (p < 0.05). Conclusively, PUI systems made of nickel-titanium alloy with small dimensions, such as Endosonic Blue, have advantages for the removal of intracanal medicaments from curved root canals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the efficacy of EndoActivator, passive ultrasonic irrigation, and Ultra X in removing calcium hydroxide from the artificial grooves in root canal walls. METHODS The root canals of 50 extracted human maxillary incisors were instrumented by using the ProTaper rotary system up to #F4 (size 40/0.06 ProTaper) and the teeth were split longitudinally. Lateral grooves were created in the apical and coronal parts of one half and the middle part of the other half. Calcium hydroxide paste was applied to the grooves and the root halves were reassembled. After seven days, the calcium hydroxide was removed from the canal by using one of the EndoActivator, passive ultrasonic irrigation, and Ultra X devices; one group went without irrigation (control group). The CH remnants in the grooves were scored at 20× magnification. The data were analyzed by using the Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn's post hoc, and Friedman tests. P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS No statistically significant difference existed among the experimental groups at the coronal and middle grooves (P > 0.05). However, Ultra X was significantly more effective than passive ultrasonic irrigation at the apical grooves (P = 0.023). CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this study, Ultra X can be reported to remove the calcium hydroxide from the apical third more efficiently than passive ultrasonic irrigation.

Abstract
Aim The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the efficacy of newly developed irrigation systems, i.e., XP-endo Finisher file (XP-endo), EndoActivator (EA), and Endo-Irrigator Plus (EI) with gold standard passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) tip and in removal of calcium hydroxide (CH) from single-rooted teeth with artificial simulated internal resorption cavities. Materials and Methods One hundred and twenty single-rooted mandibular premolars were decoronated and prepared using the ProTaper Gold system up to F5. Samples were buccolingually sectioned and resorption cavities were prepared. Twenty specimens were served as Group 1 - negative control. In the remaining specimens, CH was delivered and root halves were brought together. Twenty specimens were served as Group 2 - positive control. The remaining specimens were randomly divided into four experimental groups (n = 20), where NaOCl and EDTA were activated using PUI, XP-endo, EA, and EI for 1 min. The remnants of CH were scored and analyzed by employing Kruskal-Wallis H- and Mann-Whitney U-tests. Results PUI and XP-endo removed more CH than other devices (P < 0.05), showing no significant difference between them. Conclusion None of the tested systems were able to remove CH completely from resorption cavities. PUI and XP-endo were superior to other tested devices.

[PMID: 36507755 DOI: 10.1590/1807-3107bor-2022.vol36.0068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2021] [Accepted: 02/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the penetration of endodontic cement following the removal of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) dressing using the XP-endo Finisher in association with different irrigating solutions. Sixty premolars were instrumented and applied with a Ca(OH)2 dressing. To remove Ca(OH)2, the teeth were divided into six groups, each with a different volume of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), as well as solution stirring time with XP-endo Finisher (0, 30, and 60 sec). Root canals were filled using the lateral condensation technique. Fluorescein dye was added to the cement for microscopic laser scanning analysis. In the generated images, linear measurements were taken in micrometers, and their averages were calculated. To analyze the perimeter penetration ratio of the cement, the total perimeter of the canal and the segment of the total perimeter of the canal where the endodontic cement penetrated into the dentinal tubules were measured in micrometers. We found that using an XP-endo Finisher in irrigation was more effective than using a needle and syringe during the extension and penetration of endodontic cement. Shaking with XP-endo Finisher with 17% EDTA increased the extent and perimeter of the penetration of the endodontic cement into the dentinal tubules. However, using the XP-endo Finisher with EDTA only was more efficient than using the instrument interchangeably in NaOCl and EDTA. Although XP-endo Finisher contributes to the removal of Ca(OH)2, none of the protocols or instruments used removed all Ca(OH)2 from the root system.

Abstract
Success rate of fractured instrument retrieval varies because it is dependent mainly on several factors including the visibility of the fractured instrument, the length of the fractured instrument in relation to the curvature of the canal, and the techniques applied to each case. This review aims to update the present status on removal of fractured instruments to identify factors and variables that could affect the success of fractured instrument retrieval based on both the preparation techniques and the instrument retrieval techniques. On the other hand, future directions of fractured instrument retrieval should focus on management of non-visible fractured instruments since the removal of those instruments are deemed unpredictable with the current techniques, whereas the removal of visible fractured instruments are considered predictable now. Another possible direction of it is there might be no more instrument fracture due to possible significant changes in the root canal preparation technique which may dispense with the use of rotary instruments.

Abstract
This study aimed to test the biocompatibility and antibacterial properties of Salvadora persica (S. persica) extract, a natural product, as an intracanal medication in comparison with calcium hydroxide (Metapaste, META BIOMED, Cheongju, Korea). The pH values of both materials were tested. The biocompatibility of S. persica extract and Metapaste was determined using light microscopy and MTT assays. The antibacterial action was tested using the zone of bacterial inhibition on four common bacterial species. In addition, intracanal medication was administered using 68 extracted single-rooted teeth contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), and the percentage reduction in colony count (% RCC) at 1, 3, and 7 days was measured. The extension of activity for both materials was assessed using histological sections and scanning electron microscopy. S. persica was found to be acidic in nature. Both materials showed significantly lower cell viability than the positive control cells on days 1 and 3 but not on day 7. S. persica showed better antibacterial effects against E. faecalis and S. mutans. S. persica extract showed 97.6%, 98.9%, and 99.3% RCC values at 1, 3, and 7 days, respectively, which are comparable to those of Metapaste. S. persica herbal extract is a promising material that can be utilized as an intracanal medication, but its use requires further research.

Abstract
This study assessed the influence of apical preparation size and final irrigation protocol on the debridement of the apical third of oval root canals of mandibular molars. Seventy-seven distal roots were divided into 7 groups (n = 11): Control: without instrumentation or irrigation; Group 30CI: ProTaper Next (up to size 30; PTN) + conventional irrigation (CI); Group 30UAI: PTN + ultrasonically activated irrigation (UAI); Group 30XPF: PTN + XP-endo Finisher (XPF); Group 40CI: PTN + ProDesign Logic (up to size 40; PDL) + CI; Group 40UAI: PTN + PDL + UAI; and Group 40XPF: PTN + PDL + XPF. The total volume of irrigating solutions used per root canal in all the experimental groups was 33 mL of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 6 mL of 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). After specimen processing and histological analysis under a digital microscope (100x), the percentages of untouched canal walls (UCW) and remaining debris (RD) were assessed using Image J software. A descriptive and exploratory analysis was conducted, indicating that the data failed to meet the assumptions of an analysis of variance. Therefore, generalized linear models were used to assess the effects of the different instrumentation and irrigation protocols, as well as the interaction among them, on the percentage of UCW and RD. No significant difference was found among the irrigation protocols regarding the percentage of UCW, irrespective of apical preparation size (p>0.05). However, UCW and RD were significantly lower in groups 40CI, 40UAI and 40XPF than in groups 30CI, 30UAI and 30XPF (p<0.05). The percentage of RD was significantly lower in the UAI and XPF groups than in the CI groups, irrespective of apical preparation size (p<0.05). The difference between preparation sizes 30 and 40, with respect to RD, was higher when CI was used (p<0.05). In conclusion, instrumentation up to apical preparation size 40 resulted in lower percentages of UCW and RD than up to apical preparation size 30. Use of UAI or XPF resulted in lower percentages of RD than CI.

Abstract
This study evaluated main canal and intratubular decontamination using different irrigation solutions followed by adjunctive agitation steps for infected root canals. Sixty-eight lower incisors were contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis and allocated to groups according to canal treatment (n = 10): G1, NaOCl followed by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA); G2, a mixture of NaOCl with hydroxyethylidene bisphosphonate (HEBP); and G3, NaOCl followed by EDTA-T (EDTA with sodium lauryl ether sulfate). All three groups of teeth were agitated with passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) using saline solution, whereby G4, G5, and G6 were prepared as above, and agitation was performed using an XP-Endo Finisher instrument. Microbiological samples were collected from the root canals with paper points at three times: before and after chemomechanical preparation and after agitation. The colony-forming units (CFU)/mL count was determined, and bacterial intratubular viability was analyzed via confocal laser scanning microscopy using Live/Dead staining. Statistical analysis was performed using a Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn tests. A Friedman test was applied for colony-counting data (α = 0.05). CFU/mL counting indicated equally effective decontamination in the experimental groups (p > 0.05). According to microscopy images, the use of irrigation solutions followed by agitation with the XP-Endo Finisher yielded better results. Moreover, NaOCl+EDTA-T followed by XP-Endo Finisher resulted in significantly lower viability than in the PUI-activated groups (p < 0.05). The cervical and medium thirds of the specimens presented similar results. Overall, NaOCl+EDTA-T exhibited the best intratubular antibacterial activity, mainly for canals that were subsequently agitated using XP-Endo Finisher.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of different protocols for Ca(OH)2 removal on the bond strength (BS) of epoxy resin-based sealer in long oval root canals. Forty-eight mandibular incisors with long oval root canals were selected by CBCT. Biomechanical preparation was performed, the samples were filled with Ca(OH)2 paste and distributed in four groups (n = 12): G-without Ca(OH)2 paste (C); G2-syringe/needle (SN); G3-SN + XP-Endo® Finisher (XPF); G4-SN + passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI). After 7 days, Ca(OH)2 was removed and teeth were filled using AHPlus and guttapercha. In four samples from each group, the sealer was manipulated with 0.1% rhodamine to assess sealer penetration by fluorescent laser confocal microscopy (FLCM). Samples were sectioned in slices for BS, scanning electron microscopy, and FLCM analysis. The BS data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey tests (α = 0.05). The lowest BS values were found for the SN group (12.89 ± 4.36) compared to C (35.55 ± 10.05), while PUI group presented intermediate values (28.57 ± 9.35) and the XPF group (31.34 ± 9.8) showed values that were sometimes similar to C group and sometimes similar to PUI group (p > .05). The analysis of the adhesive interface showed evident gaps, with the presence of residues between the dentin and the filling material for the SN group, and for C, XPF and PUI groups juxtaposed adhesive interface. FLCM images showed sealer penetration in the dentinal tubules along the entire perimeter for C, XPF, and PUI groups. Ca(OH)2 removal with XPF and PUI from long oval root canals resulted in higher bond strength values compared to SN, besides better sealer penetration on dentinal tubules and juxtaposed adhesive interface.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the effect of XP-endo Finisher file (XPF), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and conventional irrigation technique using side-vented needle (SVN) on the amount of apically extruded debris after the removal of calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 and double antibiotic paste (DAP). Materials and Methods: Sixty extracted human mandibular premolars were used. After decronation, all canals were prepared up to the ProTaper Next X4 file (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). After dryness, teeth were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n=30) according to the Type of intracanal medication used; Ca(OH)2 and DAP then incubated at 37 °C and 100% humidity. After one week, Samples in each group were randomly assigned to 3 subgroups (n=10) according to the method used for medicament removal: XPF, PUI and SVN. Debris extruded during the removal procedure were collected into pre-weighed Eppendorf tubes then left to dry in an incubator at 37°C for 15 days. The amount of extruded debris was assessed with an analytical balance and calculated by subtracting the initial weight from the final weight of the tube. Data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: there was no statistically significant difference regarding the amount of apically extruded debris after using the three irrigation techniques in removal of both Ca(OH)2 and DAP (P-value = 0.141, Effect size = 0.160) and (P-value = 0.237, Effect size = 0.073) respectively. Conclusions: Neither XPF nor PUI increase the risk of intracanal medicament extrusion beyond the apex.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro performance of collagen-based sponges as a drug delivery system for intracanal antimicrobial administration. Four groups of loaded collagen-based sponges (A, 0.3% w/v amoxicillin trihydrate: potassium clavulanate (4:1); B, 0.03% w/v chlorhexidine gluconate [CHX]; C, 0.3% w/v amoxicillin trihydrate: potassium clavulanate (4:1) and 0.03% w/v CHX; D, 1% w/v amoxicillin trihydrate: potassium clavulanate (4:1) and 0.03% w/v CHX) were designed. Release kinetics were tested in vitro on cultures in Petri dishes, and the effect on bacterial biofilms was studied ex vivo on 114 extracted human single-rooted teeth. Biofilm formation was tested by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Collagen sponges containing amoxicillin and chlorhexidine showed a time-sustained antimicrobial effect in vitro and were also able to destroy mature biofilms ex vivo. This datum was validated by means of SEM-based study of E. faecalis and S. aureus biofilms.

Abstract
Background XP-Endo Finisher (XPF) and passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) are commonly used in intracanal medicament removal. The effectiveness of these two techniques needs to be compared, and evidence-based research should be conducted. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar up to December 20th, 2020. The outcomes of the included trials were pooled into the Cochrane Collaboration’s Review Manager 5.3 software. Cochrane’s risk-of-bias tool 2.0 was applied to assess the risk of bias. Results Nine articles were included in this systematic review and processed for data extraction, and eight studies were identified for meta-analysis. In general, the use of PUI showed better medicament removal effectiveness than XPF (odds ratio [OR]: 3.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.96–4.86; P < 0.001). PUI was also significantly more efficient than XPF in the apical third (OR: 3.42; 95% CI, 1.32–8.84; P = 0.01). For trials using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) alone, PUI was also significantly more effective than XPF on intracanal medicaments removal (OR: 5.23; 95% CI, 2.79–9.82; P < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference between PUI and XPF when NaOCl and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were used in combination (OR: 1.51; 95% CI, 0.74–3.09; P = 0.26). In addition, for studies whose intracanal medicament periods were two weeks, the effectiveness of PUI was statistically better than the XPF (OR: 7.73; 95% CI, 3.71–16.07; P < 0.001). Nevertheless, for trials whose intracanal medicament time was one week or over two weeks, no differences between the XPF and PUI were found (OR: 1.54; 95% CI, 0.74–3.22; P = 0.25) (OR: 1.42; 95% CI, 0.44–4.61; P = 0.56). Conclusions The meta-analysis is the first study to quantitatively compare the effectiveness of XPF and PUI techniques on intracanal medicaments removal. With rigorous eligibility criteria, the study only included high-quality randomised controlled trials. The study indicated that PUI might be superior over XPF techniques for removing intracanal medicaments from artificial standardized grooves and cavities in the root canal system. The anatomical areas, irrigation protocol, and intracanal medicaments time may influence the cleaning efficacy.

Abstract
This study evaluated the syringe/needle (SN), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and XP-endo Finisher (XP) in the removal of Ca(OH)2 -based paste and the bond strength (BS) values of an epoxy resin (AH Plus) and silicate (MTA)-based sealers to root dentin. Eighty lower premolars were assigned: control group (CT), SN, PUI and XP, and subdivided according to the sealer (n = 10) for BS. SN has the lowest removal followed by PUI and XP. AH Plus had higher BS for CT compared with SN in all root thirds. CT and XP presented similar BS in the apical and middle thirds and higher than SN and PUI. For MTA, similar BS was observed in the cervical and apical thirds, and in the middle third, CT, PUI and XP presented similar values and higher than SN. PUI and XP methods presented higher efficiency in the Ca(OH)2 removal, and the residual Ca(OH)2 provides a reduction in BS of the AH Plus.

Effect of Various Irrigating Devices on the Removal of Two Different Forms of Calcium Hydroxide from Internal Resorption Cavities. Int J Dent 2020; 2020:8881177. [PMID: 33005191 PMCID: PMC7503104 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8881177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2020] [Revised: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the efficiency of passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), EndoActivator (EA), standard needle irrigation (SNI), and XP-endo Finisher files in removing pure calcium hydroxide (pCH) and injectable CH from in vitro root resorption cavities. Using a rotary system, the root canals of 116 extracted single rooted teeth were prepared. Imitated internal resorption cavities were then created in root halves. The specimens were divided into two groups according to the form of CH (n = 58): (I) pCH; (II) injectable CH. The teeth of each group were randomly divided into six subgroups: negative control (n = 5), positive control (n = 5), PUI (n = 12), XP-endo Finisher (n = 12), EA (n = 12), and SNI (n = 12). The root canals were irrigated using NaOCl and EDTA and split longitudinally, and both halves were evaluated with a stereomicroscope. Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U tests were used to analyze data. The present results revealed that PUI completely removed pCH in 79% and injectable CH in 70.8% of the internal resorption cavities which was significantly higher than other methods (p < 0.05). There was no statically significant difference between different forms of CH in terms of CH removal (p=0.918). The PUI technique was observed as the most efficient method of P-CH and injectable CH removal from a replicated internal resorption cavity. Finally, according to the findings, different forms of CH were comparable in terms of CH removal.

Abstract
Background/purpose Dual Rinse HEDP is a soft chelator which can be used simultaneously with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Dual Rinse HEDP with different irrigation systems on removing calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2]. Materials and methods Eighty maxillary central incisor teeth were shaped and a standard groove on the apical third of the root canal surface was prepared. The root canals were filled with Ca(OH)2. Samples were divided into two groups according to the solution and these two groups were divided into three subgroups based on the activation technique. In group 1 (n = 10) Ca(OH)2 was removed using conventional irrigation with NaOCl whereas in group 2 (n = 10) conventional irrigation with NaOCl - Dual Rinse HEDP mixture was used. Group 3 (n = 15) and group 4 (n = 15) received sonic activation with the same irrigants as groups 1 and 2 respectively. In group 5 (n = 15) passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) was used with NaOCl while in group 6 (n = 15) the irrigant was the mixture. The amount of remaining Ca(OH)2 in the artificial grooves were evaluated under a light microscope. Results None of the procedures managed to completely remove the Ca(OH)2 from artificial grooves. There was no significant difference between the groups (p = 0.053). The scores were significantly lower in PUI group compared to the other techniques between NaOCl groups (p = 0.021). Conclusion Dual Rinse HEDP does not make a difference on elimination of Ca(OH)2. PUI is more efficient than both methods when NaOCl solution is used.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mandibular premolars usually have one root and one root canal. Different studies found that up to 30% of mandibular premolars have more than one root canal, and up to 24% of mandibular premolars have C-shape canals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the root anatomy and the prevalence of complex root canal morphology in mandibular premolars in Israeli population. METHODS A total of 1020 Israeli patients' cone-beam computed tomography scans were screened and evaluated. A total of 1835 mandibular first premolars and 1678 mandibular second premolars were examined. Irregular root anatomy and different root canal morphologies were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS The overall prevalence of complex root morphology (types II-VIII) in mandibular first and second premolars was 21% and 2.8%, respectively. The bilateral prevalence of complex root morphology in mandibular first and second premolars was 46% and 29%, respectively. The prevalence of radicular grooves in mandibular first and second premolars with complex root morphology was 48% and 36%, respectively. No significant difference was found according to gender or the side of occurrence. However, complex root canal morphology was significantly found in mandibular premolars with radicular grooves. CONCLUSIONS Complex root canal morphology frequently occurs in mandibular first premolars in the population of Israel. Radicular groove existence in mandibular first and second premolars is significantly related to complex root canal morphology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the rotary instrument XP-endo Finisher for the removal of Ca(OH)2 aided by different irrigation regimens. METHODS Sixteen double-rooted upper premolar human teeth were selected for the study. Thirty-two canals were prepared using a ProTaper Next rotary system up to X3. Then, the canals were filled with Ca(OH)2. The volume of Ca(OH)2 inside the canals was measured by microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). After that, the teeth were randomly allocated into two experimental groups, i.e., A and B (n = 16 canals). In group A, Ca(OH)2 was removed using the master apical file (X3). In group B, Ca(OH)2 was removed using a XP-endo finisher. In half of both groups (n = 8), syringe irrigation (SI) was used, while passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) was used for the other half. After removal, the remaining volume of Ca(OH)2 was measured. All data were statistically analyzed using two-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test. RESULTS The percentages of remaining Ca(OH)2 in the apical thirds of all canals were significantly higher as compared with the middle and coronal thirds in all groups (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between different files and techniques (p > 0.05). CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This study presents a new method for the removal of Ca(OH)2 from root canals.

The effect of intracanal medicaments used in Endodontics on the dislocation resistance of two calcium silicate-based filling materials. BMC Oral Health 2020; 20:57. [PMID: 32070302 PMCID: PMC7029461 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-020-1044-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2019] [Accepted: 02/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Intracanal medicaments can be used in various endodontic conditions including multiple visit endodontics after trauma or in regenerative endodontics. These medicaments should be removed from the root canal before the placement of the filling or repair material. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of prior calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and modified triple antibiotic paste (mTAP) placement on the push-out bond strength of TotalFill BC fast set putty (BC fast set putty) to root dentin when compared to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Methods The root canals of 45 extracted mandibular premolars were prepared to a standardized internal diameter (1.5 mm). The specimens were randomly assigned to 3 groups according to the intracanal medicament used: mTAP (a mixture of metronidazole, ciprofloxacin, and cefaclor), Ca(OH)2, and no intracanal medicament. After 1 week, the medicaments were removed, and the middle third of the roots were cut into two transverse sections (2.0 ± 0.05) (n = 90 slices). Thereafter, the specimens were divided into two subgroups (n = 45 each): MTA or BC putty. After 1 week, the push-out test was performed and failure mode was evaluated. The data were statistically analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc. Results The application of the intracanal medicament did not significantly affect the bond strength of BC putty (p > .05). For MTA, the prior application of Ca(OH)2 or mTAP significantly decreased the dislocation resistance (p < .05). Specimens in the MTA subgroups showed an almost equal number of cohesive and mixed types of failure while the majority of the specimens in the BC putty subgroups revealed the cohesive type. Conclusions Ca(OH)2 and mTAP promoted lower bond strength of MTA to root dentin compared to the control group. However, the BC fast set putty bond strength to dentin was not affected by prior medication with Ca(OH)2 or mTAP.

Abstract
Background. One of the most important aims of an endodontic treatment is to obtain the complete removal or reduction of root canal remaining filling material: Smear layer, bacteria, intra-canal medicaments. To meet this requirement, several irrigation activation techniques have been proposed. Our systematic review examined studies which analyzed the XP-endo Finisher (XPF) instrument efficacy in removing root canal debris during initial endodontic treatment or retreatment, comparing it with the efficacy of other irrigation activation protocols, such as passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), laser activation procedure (Er:YAG), and Self-Adjusting File system (SAF). Methods. A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Chocrane Library, and Scopus databases, identifying 51 items. Thirty-four articles were excluded based on title, abstract, full text, and language. Seventeen randomized controlled trials were selected and consequently submitted to quality assessment and data collection. Results. Conventional needle irrigation (CNI) is the less effective irrigation technique, but it is still unclear whether XPF is able to guarantee greater debris removal than the PUI technique. Er:YAG laser has been proven to be more effective in apical third than XPF instrument. Conclusions. Further investigations are needed in order to establish which final irrigation activation procedure could reach the maximum root canal debris reduction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of XP-endo Finisher (XPF) file and passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) in the smear layer removal of the root canal. METHODS A total of 60 human single-rooted premolars were selected and decoronated to standardize their canal length to 16 mm. Tooth samples were prepared using a S3 rotary system to prepare root canal with the file size of 3S and then randomly divided into 6 groups according to the final irrigation protocol, as follows: XPF 3 mL of 3% NaOCl for 1 min (group A); XPF 3 mL of 3% NaOCl for 1 min, followed by 4 mL of 17% ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) for 1 min (group B); PUI of 3 mL of 3% NaOCl for 1 min (group C); PUI of 3 mL of 3% NaOCl for 1 min, followed by 4 mL of 17% EDTA for 1 min (group D); 3 mL of 3% NaOCl for 1 min by using a syringe and a 30 G side-vented needle (group E); and 3 mL of 3% NaOCl for 1 min by using a syringe and a 30 G side-vented needle, followed by 4 mL of 17% EDTA for 1 min (group F). After the completion of the root canal preparation, the teeth were split into two longitudinally. The mean numbers of the visible open dentinal tubules in the apical and middle thirds of the root canals were evaluated via scanning electron microscope. RESULTS The whole surfaces of the root canals in groups A, C, and E were covered by a smear layer. Groups A and C possessed significantly higher number of visible open dentinal tubules than in group E (P<0.05), with statistically insignificant difference between groups A and C (P>0.05). The apical third of the samples in groups B and D and in the middle thirds of canals in group F exhibited a small amount of smear layer, and the dentinal tubules were open or semi-open. The root canal surfaces in the apical third of the samples in group F were covered by a smear layer, and the dentinal tubules were sealed or semisealed. The smear layers in the middle third of the samples in groups B and D were removed, and the dentinal tubules were more visibly open than those of the four other groups (P<0.05). The difference between groups B and D were statistically insignificant (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The difference between XPF and PUI in terms of the smear layer removal of the root canals was insignificant. Hence, XPF, as a new irrigation agitation technique, can aid in improving smear layer removal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of the XP-endo Finisher instrument and passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) as final irrigation protocols on the removal of accumulated hard-tissue debris (AHTD) from oval-shaped canals using micro-computed tomographic (micro-CT) analysis. METHODS Twenty mandibular incisors were anatomically pair-matched based on similar morphological dimensions (length, volume, aspect ratio, and configuration) through micro-CT analysis, prepared with Reciproc R25 instrument, scanned again, and assigned to one of the two experimental groups (n = 10), according to the final irrigation protocol: XP-endo Finisher and PUI. After the final irrigation protocols, the specimens were rescanned and the registered datasets were examined to quantify the amount of AHTD. Data were statistically analyzed using Student's t test with a significance level of 5%. RESULTS The final irrigation protocols were highly similar in terms of volumetric percentage reduction of AHTD (P = 1.000). CONCLUSIONS XP-endo Finisher and PUI showed the same effectiveness on the removal of AHTD. None of the tested final irrigation protocols completely removed the AHTD from oval-shaped root canals. CLINICAL RELEVANCE AHTD may be considered clinically relevant because it could harbor bacterial contents away from the disinfection procedures. Both final irrigation protocols were effective on the removal of AHTD.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of laser-activated irrigation (LAI), XP-endo Finisher, CanalBrush, Vibringe, passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), and conventional syringe irrigation systems on the removal of calcium hydroxide (CH) from simulated root canal irregularities. Material and Methods The root canals of one hundred and five extracted single-rooted teeth were instrumented using Reciproc rotary files up to size R40. The teeth were split longitudinally. Two of the three standard grooves were created in the coronal and apical section of one segment, and another in the middle part of the second segment. The standardized grooves were filled with CH and the root halves were reassembled. After 14 days, the specimens were randomly divided into 7 experimental groups (n=15/group). CH was removed as follows: Group 1: beveled needle irrigation; Group 2: double side-vented needle irrigation; Group 3: CanalBrush; Group 4: XP-endo Finisher; Group 5: Vibringe; Group 6: PUI; Group 7: LAI. The amount of remaining CH in the grooves was scored under a stereomicroscope at 20× magnification. Statistical evaluation was performed using Kruskal–Wallis and Bonferroni-Correction Mann–Whitney U tests. Results Groups 1 and 2 were the least efficient in eliminating CH from the grooves. Groups 6 and 7 eliminated more CH than the other protocols; however, no significant differences were found between these two groups (P>.05). Conclusions Nevertheless, none of the investigated protocols were able to completely remove all CH from all three root regions. LAI and PUI showed less residual CH than the other protocols from artificial grooves.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the XP-Endo Finisher (FKG Dentaire, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) with passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and needle irrigation in the removal of triple antibiotic paste (TAP) from the straight immature root canals of extracted teeth. METHODS Thirty-four freshly extracted single-rooted teeth were used. All canals were prepared up to the ProTaper F5 file (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). Apices were drilled to simulate teeth with immature apices. The canals were filled with TAP, sealed, and incubated at 37°C and 100% humidity for 1 month. Samples were randomly assigned to 3 experimental groups according to the method used for TAP removal: XP-Endo Finisher, PUI, and needle irrigation (n = 10). Then, the roots were split into 2 halves. The amount of TAP residue in the apical portion of each segment was evaluated using a scanning electron microscopy and scored. RESULTS The amount of remaining TAP was significantly lower in the XP-Endo Finisher group compared with the needle irrigation and PUI groups (P < .05). Between the needle irrigation and PUI groups, there were no statistically significant differences (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this study, the XP-Endo Finisher removed significantly more TAP than needle irrigation and PUI.

Abstract
Background The aim was to compare the efficacy of the passive ultrasonic irrigation PUI and the Xp-endo Finisher (FKG-Dentaire, La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) in removing the calcium hydroxide paste from root canals and from the apical third. Material and Methods Sixty-eight root canals of single-rooted teeth were shaped using the BT-Race files (FKG-Dentaire, La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland). Ca(OH)2 was placed in all samples except for the negative control group (n=4). Remaining teeth were randomly divided into three groups: G1-Xp (n=30), G2-PUI (n=30) and the positive control group (n=4). Removal procedure consisted of three repeated one-minute-cycles. Samples were split longitudinally, photos of halves were taken at X6.4 magnification and were analyzed using the ImageJ-Software (The National Institutes of Health NIH, Bethesda, Maryland, USA) to calculate the percentage of surfaces with residual Ca(OH)2; the results were compared using the Wilcoxon-Mann Whitney test. Photos of the apical thirds were taken at X16 and X40 magnifications and were scored by two examiners from (0) to (4). Scores of the apical third were compared using the Fisher test. Results The Xp-endo Finisher removed completely the Ca(OH)2 dressing from four teeth (13.33%) whereas the PUI in one tooth (3.33%). The mean values of the remaining Ca(OH)2 were (2.1%, 3.6%) respectively and the difference was not significant (p= 0.195). Both examiners found the Xp-endo Finisher more efficient in the apical third and the difference was significant; p= (0.025, 0.047) respectively. Conclusions The Xp-endo Finisher showed a superiority over the PUI in removing the Ca(OH)2 from the apical third after 3 minutes of activation. Key words:Calcium hydroxide removal, Passive ultrasonic irrigation, Xp-endo Finisher.

Abstract
Background: Irrigation of the root canal system is an essential step in the endodontic treatment. The aim of this article is to introduce continuous apical negative-pressure ultrasonic irrigation (CANUI), a new irrigation concept, and compare the characteristics of this new technique with current devices for activating the irrigant.
Material and Methods: CANUI is designed for cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system. The device consists of a tube inside another tube that allows the continuous ultrasonic exchange of fresh irrigant, as the irrigant is simultaneously aspirated apically. The coronal and apical tubes are 0.75 and 0.3 mm in diameter, respectively. It is composed of a nickel-titanium microcannula suitable for the working length of curved canals.
Results: The CANUI technique has the advantages of apical negative pressure (to avoid apical extrusion of the irrigant) and continuous ultrasonic irrigation (continuous refreshment of the irrigant and forced introduction into the canal ramifications).
Conclusions: The CANUI technique could improve the irrigation technique of dentists to reach more disinfection in endodontic treatments.
Key words:Apical negative pressure, continuous ultrasonic irrigation, irrigation in curved canals, irrigation systems.

Abstract
To compare the efficacy of various irrigants (citric acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and NaOCl) and techniques in removing Ca(OH)2 in two types of curved root canal systems, simulated root canals with specific curvatures were used to investigate the effects of different irrigants and instruments on Ca(OH)2 removal. The optimal methods were verified on extracted human teeth. Simulated root canals were assigned to one of two groups based on the irrigation solution: 10% citric acid or 2.5% NaOCl. Each group was divided into four subgroups according to the technique used to remove Ca(OH)2. The percentage of Ca(OH)2 removal in different sections of root canals was calculated. On the basis of the results obtained for the simulated canals, 10% citric acid and 17% EDTA were applied to remove Ca(OH)2 from the extracted human teeth with curved root canal systems. The teeth were scanned by micro computed tomography to calculate the percentage of Ca(OH)2 removal in the canals. In simulated root canals, we found that 10% citric acid removed more Ca(OH)2 than 2.5% NaOCl in the 0–1 mm group from the apex level (P<0.05). Ultrasonic and EndoActivator activation significantly removed more Ca(OH)2 than a size 30 K file in the apical third (P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in any sections of the canals for 10% citric acid or 17% EDTA in removing Ca(OH)2 in extracted human teeth. We concluded that it was effective to remove residual Ca(OH)2 using the decalcifying solution with EndoActivator or Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation in a curved root canal system. A protocol for Ca(OH)2 removal was provided based on the conclusions of this study and the methods recommended in previous studies.

Abstract
To compare four different techniques for removal of calcium hydroxide from straight root canals. The present study used the design suggested by Lee et al. (Int Endod J 37:607-612, 32) and van der Sluis et al. (Int Endod J 40:52-57, 17). One-hundred and ten extracted human teeth with straight root canals were prepared to ISO-size 50 and split longitudinally. Two lateral grooves were prepared, filled with calcium hydroxide and the root halves reassembled in a muffle. Calcium hydroxide was removed using one of five techniques: (1) passive ultrasonic irrigation, (2) hydrodynamic irrigation using RinsEndo®, (3) sonic irrigation using the EndoActivator®, (4) motor-driven plastic brush (CanalBrush™), and (5) manual irrigation with a syringe as the control group. Distilled water was used as irrigant. Cleanliness of the grooves was scored under a microscope with 40× magnification. For intraindividual reproducibility and interrater agreement, Cohens Kappa was calculated. Results of scoring were analyzed using a non-parametric test. Post hoc pairwise comparisons were used for irrigation techniques (α = 0.05). Passive ultrasonic irrigation performed significantly better than all other groups in the apical groove. Significant differences were found between RinsEndo and CanalBrush (P = 0.01855) and CanalBrush and syringe irrigation (P = 0.00021). In the coronal groove, passive ultrasonic irrigation performed significantly superior and hand irrigation performed significantly worse than all other groups. A statistically significant interaction was shown between irrigation technique and localization of the groove (P = 0.01358). The coronal grooves showed more remaining calcium hydroxide than the apical grooves. Complete removal of calcium hydroxide from the root canal could not be achieved with any of the techniques investigated. The highest degree of cleanliness resulted from the use of passive ultrasonic irrigation.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of several irrigation protocols in the removal of calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2 ] from simulated internal root resorption cavities in a complex root canal anatomy model. The 20° to 35° curved mesiobuccal roots of 94 maxillary molars were sectioned longitudinally; internal resorption cavities were prepared in the apical third of the canal walls. Calcium hydroxide was placed into the cavities and the root halves reassembled. Four teeth were used as controls, and 90 teeth were randomly divided into six experimental groups (n = 15), according to the irrigation protocols used: syringe irrigation; H2 O2 (HP); Navitip FX; Vibringe-syringe; Vibringe-NaviTip FX; ultrasonically activated irrigation (UAI) using an ultrasonic K-file. In the HP group, 2.5% NaOCl and 3% H2 O2 were used, while 2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA were used in the remaining groups. Stereomicroscope images and radiographs were used to measure the remaining Ca(OH)2 . The model proved to be suitable for simulating complex anatomy. Positive correlation was found between stereomicroscope and radiographic analyses (P < 0.05). UAI removed significantly more Ca(OH)2 than the other experimental groups (P < 0.05). The HP group was the least efficient protocol (P < 0.05). It would appear that a reliable model has been developed that simulates complex root canal anatomy. Irrigant activation protocols enhanced Ca(OH)2 removal.
