Khoury RD, de Carvalho LS, do Nascimento MFR, Alhussain F, Abu Hasna A. Endodontic irrigants from a comprehensive perspective. World J Clin Cases 2024; 12:4460-4468. [DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v12.i21.4460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024] Open
Abstract
This review article explores the fundamental principles of modern endodontics with a focus on root canal cleaning and shaping. It reviews commonly used endodontic irrigant, namely sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), herbal extracts, chlorhexidine (CHX), and chelating agents, highlighting their properties, applications, and potential drawbacks. NaOCl, a key antimicrobial agent, demonstrates effectiveness against various microorganisms but poses challenges such as high cytotoxicity. Herbal extracts, gaining recognition in endodontics, present an alternative with potential advantages in preserving dentin integrity. CHX, known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, is discussed in both liquid and gel formulations, emphasizing its role in reducing smear layer formation and preserving hybrid layer durability. Chelating agents, specifically ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and citric acid, play a vital role in removing the smear layer, enhancing dentin permeability, and facilitating the penetration of antimicrobial agents. The review article underscores the importance of careful application and consideration of each irrigant's properties to ensure safe and effective endodontic procedures. It serves as a valuable guide for clinicians in selecting appropriate irrigants based on specific treatment requirements.

Parkar A, Banga KS, Pawar AM, Luke AM. Extrusion of Sodium Hypochlorite in Oval-Shaped Canals: A Comparative Study of the Potential of Four Final Agitation Approaches Employing Agarose-Embedded Mandibular First Premolars. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2748. [PMID: 38792290 PMCID: PMC11121930 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13102748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The aim of this investigation was to assess the apical extrusion potential of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in agarose-embedded mandibular first premolars employing four final agitation procedures. Methods: Based on CBCT confirmation of single oval-shaped canals, one hundred extracted mandibular first premolars were chosen. Using 5.25% NaOCl, the teeth were prepared using the XP Endo Shaper and divided into experimental and control groups. The following were the experimental groups: Group 1 comprised the XP-Endo Finisher, Group 2 the Ultrasonic Activation, Group 3 the Gentle File Finisher Brush, and Group 4 the 27-gauge side-vented needle. To test extrusion, the teeth were placed in a 0.2% agarose gel that contained the pH-sensitive dye m-cresol purple, allowing pixel quantification via ImageJ software (version 1.54i). Results: The XP Endo Finisher featured the most pixels, depicting higher apical extrusion (p < 0.01), followed by the side-vented needle, Gentle File Finisher Brush, and PUI, while the Control Group endured no extrusion. Conclusions: The effective irrigation method for root canal therapy is critical, especially in situations of open apices, resorption, or perforation. According to in vitro experiments, the XP-Endo Finisher has the maximum sodium hypochlorite extrusion, which is determined by parameters such as apical preparation size and irrigation system.

AUST ENDOD J 2024; 50:3-14. [PMID: 37800647 DOI: 10.1111/aej.12802] [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: 10/10/2022] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023]
Abstract
This study is to examine the effect of graphene oxide (GO) and GO-based nanocomposites (GO_EDTA, GO_CHIT) on the smear layer by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Sixty human single-rooted anterior teeth were used. Samples were randomly categorised into six groups. Distilled water in group 1, 17% EDTA in group 2, chitosan (CHIT) solution in group 3, GO solution in group 4, GO_EDTA solution in group 5 and GO_CHIT in group 6 were used as irrigation solutions. Photomicrographs were acquired from the coronal, middle and apical parts of the samples by SEM. Statistical analyses were performed using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests. There was a statistically significant difference among the groups (p < 0.003). Adding GO to CHIT and EDTA did not affect removing the smear layer in all segments (p < 0.003). Incorporating GO into EDTA and CHIT solutions did not change their interaction with the smear layer.

Abstract
Background This study assessed the impact of chelating agents, 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 10% citric acid (CA), and 18% etidronic acid (HEDP), on root dentin mineral content. Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) was applied to analyze changes, and the push-out bond strength test was used to measure dentin adhesion of Well-Root ST, a bioceramic root canal sealer. Methods A total of 80 extracted single-rooted lower premolar teeth were included in this study and randomly divided into four groups (n=20): group 1 (17% EDTA), group 2 (10% CA), group 3 (18% HEDP), and group 4 (distilled water, control). After irrigation and drying, SEM-EDS was applied to analyze eight samples from each group at coronal, middle, and apical root regions for mineral content and SEM images. The remaining 12 samples underwent a push-out bond strength test using Well-Root ST sealer and gutta-percha. Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's tests were used for statistical analyses. Results Statistically significant differences were found between groups (P<0.05). SEM-EDS showed significant differences in C, O, Ca, P, and Ca/P content, with no significant differences in Na and Mg. Push-out bond strength was significantly higher in the 17% EDTA, 10% CA, and 18% HEDP groups compared to the control group, with no significant differences between chelating agents. Conclusion Chelating agents altered root dentin mineral content and improved the adhesive properties of the bioceramic sealer. These findings highlight the importance of considering the selection and use of chelating agents in the clinical practice for root canal treatment.

Effect of sodium hypochlorite, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, and dual-rinse irrigation on dentin adhesion using an etch-and-rinse or self-etch approach. Sci Rep 2024; 14:6315. [PMID: 38491076 PMCID: PMC10943220 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-57009-x] [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: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim was to investigate the influence of endodontic irrigation solutions and protocols on the micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) to dentin using an etch-and-rinse (ER) or self-etch (SE) adhesive approach. Eighty extracted human molars were ground to dentin. After pretreating for 27 min (21 min-3 min-3 min) with five different endodontic irrigation protocols (Group 1: NaOCl-EDTA-NaOCl; Group 2: NaOCl-NaOCl-EDTA; Group 3: NaOCl-NaCl-NaOCl; Group 4: Dual Rinse-Dual Rinse-Dual Rinse; Group 5: NaCl-NaCl-NaCl), an ER (Optibond FL, Kerr) or a SE (Clearfil SE Bond, Kuraray) adhesive system was applied. After light-curing, composite build-ups were made and cut into dentin-composite sticks. μTBS and failure modes were analyzed. Nonparametric statistical analyses (α = 0.05) were performed for comparison of the five groups within each type of adhesive as well as between the two adhesive systems used. The use of an ER instead of a SE adhesive system resulted in significantly higher μTBS for all irrigation protocols except for group 1 (NaOCl-EDTA-NaOCl) and 2 (NaOCl-NaOCl-EDTA). A statistical difference between the five different endodontic irrigation protocols was only found within the SE adhesive group, where group 1 (NaOCl-EDTA-NaOCl) achieved highest values. The use of an ER adhesive system cancels out the effect of the endodontic irrigation solution. The highest μTBS was achieved when using a NaOCl-EDTA-NaOCl-irrigation protocol in combination with Clearfil SE Bond, which shows that the selection of the endodontic irrigation should match the corresponding SE adhesive system.

The Effect of Different Compositions and Concentrations of Etidronate-Containing Irrigants on the Antibacterial Activity of Sodium Hypochlorite against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans. Dent J (Basel) 2024; 12:46.

Abstract
We assessed the effect of different compositions and concentrations of two etidronate-containing irrigants on the antibacterial activity of sodium hypochlorite (SH) against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans in vitro. Pure cultures of C. albicans and E. faecalis were isolated from root canal samples. The disc diffusion method was used to compare the antibacterial effect of pure SH and SH mixed with 9%, 15%, and 18% etidronate of two manufactures (dual rinse (DR); IsraDent (ID)) and EDTA. The pH and temperature of the solutions were measured immediately after mixing and within 40 min. The ANOVA revealed a significant influence of the type of irrigating solution on the C. albicans and E. faecalis inhibition zone diameters that ranged from 6.6 to 51.6 mm and from 6.4 to 12.4 mm, respectively. SH with DR 9% exhibited the highest effect against C. albicans. The antifungal activity of the other irrigants was SH = SH + DR15% = SH + DR18% = SH + ID9% > SH + EDTA > SH + ID15% > SH + ID18%. No significant differences in the anti-E. faecalis effect were revealed between the tested solutions except for the mixtures of SH and 15% and 18% ID, which exhibited no antiseptic effect. There was a strong positive correlation between antiseptic activity against both microorganisms and the pH values of the tested solutions. In conclusion, most etidronate formulations did not significantly hamper sodium hypochlorite activity against C. albicans and E. faecalis. The effect was concentration- and manufacturer-dependent.

JOURNAL OF CONSERVATIVE DENTISTRY AND ENDODONTICS 2024; 27:146-153. [PMID: 38463480 PMCID: PMC10923222 DOI: 10.4103/jcde.jcde_241_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
Background The COVID-19 infection has become a pandemic after breaking out in China in the past months of 2019 and spreading rapidly worldwide. To counter this pandemic, several governments worldwide have taken several drastic measures to try to stop the spread of the virus, including a very strict lockdown that has caused a sudden and, in many cases, negative change in people's daily lives. In the literature, several studies have shown how the pandemic has significantly impaired many people's mental health, causing short- and long-term stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. Introduction This study aims to analyze the correlation between the stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the parafunctions of the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles, which in turn, have led to an increase in the incidence of fractures and dental injuries. The ultimate goal is to understand the best choice the dentist must make in the preventive and therapeutic fields. Materials and Methods A questionnaire called "Incidence of tooth fractures during the COVID-19 pandemic" was prepared using the Google® Forms platform. This questionnaire consists of 13 questions. This electronic questionnaire was addressed to all dentists in the Campania Region (ITA) and disseminated through social networks such as WhatsApp® or Facebook® or E-mail. Results A total of 730 dentists completed the survey. Of these, 450 (61.7%) stated that the number of patients reporting muscle and joint pain in the morning had increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. 414 (56.7%) dentists noted an increase in parafunction and 392 (53.6%) an increase in dental fractures during the pandemic period. Discussion and Conclusions As can be seen from the study results, an important correlation was found between the stress resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and dental fractures. The dental elements treated endodontically, depending on the extent of the damage, require restoration, which is also the best preventive strategy in the case of dental fractures.

Abstract
This scoping review aimed to synthesize and explore the current boundaries and limitations of laboratory research on the effectiveness of continuous chelation irrigation protocol in endodontics. This scoping review was reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Extension for Scoping Reviews. Literature search was conducted on Pubmed and Scopus to identify all laboratory studies evaluating smear layer and hard-tissue debris removal or, antimicrobial efficacy, or dentine erosion induced by continuous chelation. Two independent reviewers performed the all review steps and the relevant items were recorded. Seventy-seven potentially relevant studies were identified. Finally, 23 laboratory studies met the eligibility criteria for qualitative synthesis. Seven studies focused on the smear layer/debris removal outcome, 10 on antimicrobial activity, and 10 on dentine erosion. In general, the continuous chelation protocol was equally or more effective in the cleanliness of root canals and antimicrobial activity compared with traditional sequential protocol. In addition, etidronate solutions seemed to be milder chelating agents compared to those with EDTA, thus resulting in reduced or no dentine erosion and roughness modification. Yet, the methodological differences among the included studies limit the results' generalizability. The continuous chelation seems to be equally or more effective in all investigated outcomes when compared with the traditional sequential protocol. The methodological variability among the studies and shortcomings in the methods employed limit the generalizability and clinical relevance of the results. Standardized laboratory conditions combined with reliable three-dimensional investigation approaches are necessary to obtain clinically informative findings.

Abstract
Objective The objective of the study was to compare and evaluate the depth of penetration of an epoxy resin-based sealer following a final rinse of 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 18% 1-hydroxyethylidene 1, 1-diphosphonate (HEDP), with diode laser and passive ultrasonic activation (PUI): an in vitro confocal laser scanning microscopy study. Materials and Methods Fifty-two extracted human mandibular premolar teeth with single root and single canal were selected. They were disinfected in 0.1% thymol solution, cleaned of calculus and soft tissues, and stored in 0.1% thymol solution till use. All teeth were radiographed and selected as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The teeth were decoronated using a diamond disk under copious water spray to acquire a standardized root length of 14 mm. Working length was established by inserting a size 10-K file into each root canal until it is visible at the apical foramen and by subtracting 1 mm from the recorded length. Instrumentation of the root canal was done till master apical file size of F3 using ProTaper universal, rotary instruments. The canals were irrigated with 2 mL of 3% sodium hypochlorite between successive files. Teeth were randomly divided into four subgroups n = 12 according to the intervention. Passive ultrasonic irrigation and diode laser were used to activate the irrigants. Final irrigation was performed with distilled water. These specimens were examined using confocal laser scanning microscope (OLYMPUS FLUOVIEW FV 3000) for dentinal tubule penetration of the sealer. Two-way ANOVA test and Tukey's multiple post hoc test were used for statistical analysis. Results Highly significant difference was seen between the groups with EDTA and HEDP, with HEDP demonstrating the highest penetration. Among the activation techniques used in this study, PUI showed the highest penetration of the sealer. The least penetration was seen with diode laser activation and EDTA. Conclusions The irrigation activation techniques significantly influence the penetration of sealer into root dentinal tubules. When penetration of sealer with different irrigation techniques and irrigants was evaluated, significant greater level of sealer penetration was attained with PUI activation of HEDP.

Abstract
The aim of the study was a quantitative analysis of p-chloroaniline (PCA) formation during 2% CHX activation with US and MDI methods in a root canal-like environment with the HPLC-DAD method and, thus, a safety assessment of US and MDI agitation of CHX in endodontic treatment. Two percent CHX was activated with the US method using ISO 30 and 35 K-file, and the MDI method using ISO 30.06 and 35.06 GP cones for 15, 30, 60, and 90 s. PCA concentration was assessed with the HPLC-DAD method. PCA concentration was also assessed for 2% CHX after 0, 3, 18, and 21 days of storage in ambient conditions. PCA was detected in all samples in all methods of activation. The concentration of PCA was dependent on time of activation in US ISO 30 and ISO 35 group (p < 0.05). In the MDI ISO 30.06 and ISO 35.06 groups, a similar trend was observed but without statistical significance (p > 0.05). PCA was detected in shelf-stored 2% CHX and the concentration was related to the time of storage. PCA is released after CHX activation with US and MDI, but mean concentrations are not higher than those observed from self-degradation of shelf-stored 2% CHX.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to compare an experimental model simulating clinical root canal irrigation (root canal model) with a conventional experimental model immersing dentin sample to irrigants (immersion model) to evaluate removal of the smear layer and decalcification of the root canal dentin using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and two different concentrations of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution. Materials and Methods Forty-five single-rooted extracted human teeth were prepared using a Ni-Ti rotary file. EDTA, NaOCl, and citric acid were used in the root canal models and the immersion models. After the irrigation protocol, root canal surfaces were observed under scanning electron microscopy. Residual smear and decalcification of the root canal dentin were evaluated objectively by measuring the percentage of the area occupied by visible dentin tubules, the number of visible dentin tubules, and the mean area of a visible single dentin tubule. Results Root canal and immersion models with the same irrigation protocol showed significantly different results for smear residues and decalcification of root canal dentin. In the root canal model, neither different EDTA concentrations nor the order of EDTA and NaOCl applications significantly impacted smear residues or decalcification of root canal dentin. Furthermore, no erosion of the root canal dentin surface was observed in any experimental groups in the root canal model using EDTA and NaOCl compared to intact dentin. Conclusions Experimental design affected results for residual smear layer and decalcification of root canal dentin. The order of EDTA and NaOCl use and the concentration of EDTA did not affect results. EDTA and NaOCl irrigation did not cause erosion in the root canal model in this study.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the outcome of post space disinfection using Er,Cr:YSGG laser (ECYL), riboflavin photosensitizer (RFP), and photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) along with ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) as final irrigant on the bond values of glass fiber post (GFP) to the canal wall. Materials and methods: Forty human mandibular premolars were subjected to root canal treatment after decoronation till the cementoenamel junction. Post space was prepared using a Gates-Glidden drill leaving 4 mm of gutta perch at the apical third of the root section. Random allocation of samples was performed into four groups based on the post space disinfection (n = 10 each): Group 1: 1% RFP and 17% EDTA, group 2: 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 17% EDTA (control), group 3: PIPS and 17% EDTA, and group 4: ECYL and 17% EDTA. GFP was luted using Rely X Unicem. A universal testing machine and stereomicroscope were used to assess the push-out bond strength (PBS) and failure mode, respectively. Analysis of variance determined the PBS amid different experimental groups at three root levels. Multiple group comparison using means of tested groups was identified using post hoc Tukey. Results: The coronal third of group 2 (5.25% NaOCl +17% EDTA) demonstrated the highest PBS (8.83 ± 0.11 MPa). However, the lowest bond integrity (4.15 ± 0.52 MPa) was displayed in an apical third of group 1 (RFP +17% EDTA). The intergroup comparison revealed that 5.25% NaOCl +17% EDTA at all three levels demonstrated comparable outcomes of PBS with PIPS +17% EDTA and ECYL +17% EDTA specimens (p > 0.05). However, riboflavin +17% EDTA demonstrated the lowest bond strength (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Er,Cr: YSGG and PIPS in combination with 17% EDTA demonstrated comparable outcomes of bond score with those of conventional gold standard irrigation regime 5.25% NaOCl.

Abstract
The use of chelating agents (CAs) in the endodontic irrigation protocol is required to dissolve the inorganic components of the smear layer. We aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of dental professionals regarding the use of CAs during root canal treatment. A cross-sectional anonymous online survey was conducted among specialized endodontists and general dentists who routinely perform endodontic treatment and work in government-funded or private clinics in Moscow. The 8 min survey consisted of four parts: basic demographic data, knowledge (five items), attitude (four items), and practice (five items). We collected 376 completed questionnaires; a majority of the respondents were general dentists (87.5%) and worked in private clinics (77.4%). Most respondents (83.5%) showed a fair knowledge of the CAs used in endodontics, while 16.5% showed a poor knowledge of the topic. Small yet significant differences were found between endodontists and general practitioners and between dentists employed by private and government-funded clinics. A majority of dental practitioners (83%) demonstrated a positive attitude towards the use of CAs in endodontic treatment, and there were no differences among the study subgroups. Almost a third of the respondents always used chelating solutions during endodontic treatment, while 17% of the respondents did not use them at all. There were significant differences in this parameter between dentists working in private and government-funded clinics. Practice significantly correlated with attitude towards chelating agents and with knowledge of the topic. In conclusion, dental practitioners demonstrated a fair knowledge of CAs. Despite a positive attitude, 71% of the respondents did not use CAs for all endodontic patients.

Abstract
Root canal infections are associated with biofilms and are treated with chemical irrigants with a high success rate. However, treatment failure does arise, which is attributed primarily to resistance exhibited by biofilms. Currently used irrigants in root canal treatment have disadvantages, and there is therefore a need for more biocompatible alternatives with antibiofilm properties to reduce root canal treatment failure and complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antibiofilm properties of phytic acid (IP6), which is a potential alternative treatment agent. Single- and dual-species biofilms of Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans were developed on the well surfaces of 12-well plates and on hydroxyapatite (HA) coupons, and then exposed to IP6. In addition, selected HA coupons were preconditioned with IP6 before biofilm development. IP6 demonstrated bactericidal effects and altered the metabolic activity of biofilm cells. Confocal laser-scanning microscopy showed that IP6 caused significant and rapid reduction in live biofilm cells. At sublethal concentrations, IP6 did not alter the expression of tested virulence genes except for C. albicans hwp1, the expression of which was upregulated but not reflected by a change in hyphal transformation. IP6-preconditioned HA coupons led to extensive inhibition of dual-species biofilm formation. The results of this study highlight for the first time the antibiofilm inhibitory properties of IP6 and the potential for its exploitation in several clinical applications. IMPORTANCE Root canal infections are biofilm associated, and despite mechanical and chemical treatment procedures, infection recurrence occurs, and this is likely due to the high tolerance of associated biofilms to antimicrobials. The currently used treatment agents have several disadvantages, which necessitates the search for new improved agents. In this study, the natural chemical phytic acid was found to exhibit antibiofilm activity against established mono and dual mature biofilms over a short contact time. Most importantly, phytic acid was found to cause significant inhibition of dual-species biofilm formation when used as a surface preconditioning agent. The findings of this study identified a novel use of phytic acid as a potential antibiofilm agent that can be used in several clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the effect of various irrigation protocols on the penetration depth of a calcium silicate-based sealer into dentinal tubules using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). METHODS Twenty single-rooted mandibular premolars were endodontically prepared and divided into the following two groups according to the irrigation protocol used (n = 10): Group I: NaOCl + EDTA and Group II: continuous chelation (NaOCl/Dual Rinse). Obturation was performed with the warm vertical compaction technique using TotalFill HiFlow bioceramic sealer mixed with a fluorophore dye. Samples were observed using CLSM at 10× to measure the percentage of sealer penetration and its maximum depth into the dentinal tubules. Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-hoc test. The significance level was set at p < 0.05 within all tests. RESULTS Comparing the overall results of all sections tested, no statistically significant differences existed between the groups regarding the percentage of sealer penetration (p = 0.612) and maximum depth of penetration (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS With both types of irrigation used, dentinal tubule penetration was higher in the coronal section than in the apical section. Continuous chelation using NaOCl/Dual Rinse HEDP performed better in the coronal segments, while irrigation using NaOCl + EDTA promoted a higher percentage of sealer penetration in the apical segment.

Abstract
Background This study evaluated the effect of using chitosan, nano-chitosan, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as final irrigating solutions on smear layer cleanliness and Ca/P ratio of dentin. Methodology Forty-eight decoronated human single-rooted teeth were used. They were divided randomly into four groups (n = 12) based on the final irrigating solution used as follows: (a) control group (IA; n = 6) normal saline, (IB; n = 6) were left unprepared; group II - 0.2% chitosan; group III - 0.2% nano-chitosan; and group IV - 17% EDTA. Samples were prepared using ProTaper Next and irrigated with 2.6% NaOCl 5 ml after each instrument using 31-gauge needle. Final rinse was used 5 ml/3 min according to the assigned group. The specimens were prepared for evaluation. Results Best smear layer removal was observed in group IV. No statistically significant differences (P > 0.05) were observed between the experimental groups (II, III, and IV) coronally; however, a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) was observed between groups II and IV at middle and apical thirds. Intragroup comparison showed that apical third exhibited the highest mean smear layer score among all experimental groups. The highest mean Ca/P ratio was in the 0.2% nano-chitosan group, while the highest calcium loss was in the 17% EDTA group. Conclusions 17% EDTA is a potent chelating agent that can successfully remove the smear layer but compromises the Ca/p ratio of dentin. However, 0.2% chitosan and its nanoparticles have comparable chelating effects and induce remineralization of the root canal dentin.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate pulp tissue dissolution ability of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) when mixed with tetrasodic etidronate (Na4HEBP) and disodic ethylenediaminetetraacetate (Na2EDTA) under controlled flow. METHODS Bovine pulp tissue was extracted from the lower incisors of 10 bovine jaws. Pulp specimens were standardized in size (1 × 3 × 10 mm), blotted dry, and weighed (initial weight [T0]: mean (SD) = 31.98 (1.18) mg). Specimens from the same jaw were randomly assigned to 2 control (n = 3 each) and 4 experimental groups (n = 10 each): NC (negative control/distilled water), PC (positive control/6%NaOCl), G1 (3%NaOCl), G2 (3%NaOCl-17% Na2EDTA), G3 (3%NaOCl-18% Na4HEBP), and G4 (3%NaOCl-9% Na4HEBP). Distilled water and NaOCl were provided using a delivery pump under a continuous controlled rate (1 mL/min). A second pump alternately delivered either Na2EDTA or Na4HEBP at the same rate with a 30-second programmed interval. Percentage of tissue weight loss was calculated at 2, 5, and 10 minutes (T2, T5, and T10) and compared among groups with analysis of variance. Free available chlorine and pH were controlled at T0 and T10. RESULTS No tissue remained in PC at T5. No dissolution occurred in NC. There were no significant differences in the percentage of weight loss among experimental groups at any point of time. Some remnant tissue was found in G3 (1.4% ± 2.4) and G4 (1.6% ± 2.3) at T10, whereas nothing was left in G1 and G2. CONCLUSIONS The controlled delivery of Na2EDTA and Na4HEBP did not alter tissue dissolution ability of NaOCl when fresh solutions were mixed in the root canal.

Abstract
The preparation of an access cavity is the first part of endodontic treatment and is a key stage in the healing of both periapical and pulpal infections. It should allow endodontists to remove obstructions in the pulp chamber, locate all canal orifices and clean the entire root canal system with minimum coronal tooth structure removed. This has been done traditionally through establishing straight line access. The development of minimally invasive endodontics aimed to preserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible, particularly dentine, while undertaking root canal treatment, resulting in the development of other access cavity preparations. This includes conservative, ultra conservative (ninja), truss, guided access, caries-orientated and restorative access cavities. These access cavity preparations also gained popularity due to increased magnification and enhanced lighting, allowing practitioners to visualise the pulpal space in greater detail throughout treatment.Our current recommendation is to conduct access cavities traditionally rather than conservatively. Ideally, conservative access cavities need magnification, which might not be available for all clinicians. With traditional access cavity, the procedure takes less time and it is more predictable to locate the canal orifices, deliver irrigation effectively, avoid iatrogenic damage with biomechanical preparation and achieve better obturation.

Abstract
At present, the commonly used allogeneic bone powder in the clinic can be divided into nondemineralized bone matrix and demineralized bone matrix (DBM). Commonly used demineralizers include acids and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). There may be some diversities between them. Also, the size of the bone particle can affects its cell compatibility and osteogenic ability. We produced different particle sizes i.e., < 75, 75-100, 100-315, 315-450, 450-650, and 650-1000 μm, and treated in three ways (nondemineralized, demineralized by EDTA, and demineralized by HCl). Scanning electron microscopy showed that the surface of the samples in each group was relatively smooth without obvious differences. The results of specific surface area and porosity analysis showed that they were significantly higher in demineralized bone powder than in nondemineralized bone powder, however, there was no significant difference between the two decalcification methods. The content of hydroxyproline in nondemineralized bone powder and EDTA-demineralized bone powder had no statistical difference, while HCl-demineralization had statistical significance compared with the former two, and the content increased with the decrease of particle size. The protein and BMP-2 extracted from HCl demineralized bone powder were significantly higher than that from nondemineralized bone powder and EDTA demineralized bone powder, and there were differences among different particle sizes. These results suggested the importance of demineralization mode and particle size of the allogenic bone powder and provided guidance for the choice of the most appropriate particle size and demineralization mode to be used in tissue bioengineering.

Abstract
AIM Evaluation of the push-out bond strength (PBS) of glass fiber reinforced post (GFRP) bonded to root dentin after canal disinfection using food-based root canal irrigants i.e., Curcumin photosensitizer (CP), Riboflavin photosensitizer (RFP), Morinda Ctrifolia juice (MCJ) and Sapindus Mukorossi (SM) along with MTAD as a final irrigant. MATERIAL METHODS Fifty human single-rooted premolar teeth were decoronated. Endodontic preparation was performed along with 2.25% sodium hypochlorite NaOCl solution followed by EDTA solution. Canals were dried and obturated followed by post-space preparation by removing GP. Specimens were allocated into five groups based on different food-based disinfection regimes (n= 10). Group 1: 2.25% NaOCl + MTAD (Control), Group 2: 6% MCJ + MTAD, Group 3: SM + MTAD, Group 4: CP + MTAD and Group 5: RFP + MTAD. All GFRP were bonded to radicular dentin. Root sectioning was performed followed by PBS and failure analysis using a universal testing machine (UTM) and stereomicroscope respectively. The data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and the Post Hoc Tukey HSD test (p=0.05). RESULTS Samples disinfected with(MCJ+MTAD) at coronal third demonstrated maximum PBS (9.41±0.51 MPa). However, the apical third of group 5 (RFP + MTAD) exhibited the minimum values (4.06±0.23 MPa). Intergroup comparison analysis unveiled that group 2 (MCJ +MTAD) and group 3 (SM+MTAD) displayed comparable outcomes of PBS at all three-thirds. Similarly, samples in group 1 (2.25% NaOCl+ MTAD), group 4 (CP + MTAD), and group 5 (RFP + MTAD) exhibited comparable PBS. CONCLUSION Fruit-based irrigants Morinda Citrifolia and Sapindus Mukorossi have the potential to be used as root canal irrigants with a positive influence on bond strength.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of two natural antioxidants on the compromised bond strength of a resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) to the sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)-affected pulp chamber dentin. METHODS Forty-two sound third molars were split into halves. The exposed pulp chamber dentin was ground to provide the flat dentin surfaces and divided into seven groups (n = 12), according to the solutions used for immersion: (1) Control, distilled water; (2) NaOCl, 5.25% NaOCl for 20 min; (3) NaOCl/Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA); 5.25% NaOCl for 20 min + 17% EDTA for 1 min; (4) NaOCl/TA, 5.25% NaOCl + 10% tanic acid (TA) for 5 min; (5) NaOCl/EDTA/TA, 5.25% NaOCl + 17% EDTA + 10% TA for 5 min; (6) NaOCl/PA, 5.25% NaOCl+ 10% proanthocyanidin for 5 min; and (7) NaOCl/EDTA/PA, 5.25% NaOCl+ 17% EDTA + 10% PA for 5 min. The RMGI was bonded on the treated dentin using a Tygon tube. After 24 h of storage, microshear bond strength (µSBS) was tested. Data in MPa were submitted to one-way analysis of variance and Tamhane test. RESULTS NaOCl significantly decreased the µSBS; NaOCl/EDTA and NaOCl/TA significantly increased the µSBS, higher than the control group (p < .05); and in the NaOCl/EDTA/TA group, the increased bond strength was at the level of the control group (p > .05). NaOCl/PA and NaOCl/EDTA/PA and NaOCl groups had comparable µSBS. CONCLUSION TA could be suggested to provide effective bonding of RMGI and immediate sealing of the pulp chamber dentin after NaOCl irrigation.

Abstract
This systematic review aims to analyse the available evidence concerning the use of citric acid (CA) in endodontics treatment and to assess its results in terms of different considerations: effect on smear layer removal, influence on sealer bond strength, activation effect by means of sonic or ultrasonic devices, effects on dentine surface, antibacterial activity, and effectiveness boost for regenerative procedures, releasing growth factors from dentin. To evaluate the results of CA as a final irrigant and compare them to other chelating agents. This review followed the PRISMA checklist. An electronic search was conducted in MEDLINE (OVID), Scopus (Elsevier) and the Web of Science (Thomson Reuters) databases. Risk of bias of included studies was evaluated using the modified CONSORT checklist and the PRIRATE checklist 2020 guidelines. 39 studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria to be included in this review: 27 in vitro studies using extracted human teeth, 10 in vitro studies using human dentin disks, and 2 RCT. Citric acid has proven to be effective in smear layer removal, showing better results in coronal and middle root thirds, improving its effect when combined with manual dynamic activation. There is no agreement regarding citric acid effect on sealer adhesion and adaptation to root canal walls due to heterogeneity within studies. Citric acid irrigation can decrease dentine microhardness and cause decalcification and erosion, especially when used before NaOCl. Citric acid has proven to be beneficial in regenerative endodontic procedures due to higher TGF-β1 release.Trial registration: Prospero database CRD42021267055.

The effects of different root canal irrigation protocols and artificial aging procedures on the bond strength between dentin and hybrid ceramic posts. BMC Oral Health 2022; 22:590. [PMID: 36494809 PMCID: PMC9733272 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-022-02571-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of different root canal irrigation protocols applied to the dentin and artificial aging procedures on the micro pushout bond strength (mPBS) between dentin and hybrid ceramic posts. Seventy-five single-rooted mandibular premolar teeth were divided into 5 groups (Gr1-5). 50 of the teeth were used for the mPBS tests (n = 10), whereas 25 were used for the smear layer examinations (n = 5). Post space were prepared and irrigated with different irrigation-protocols in each group. (Gr1:[SS], Gr2:[NaOCl] + SS, Gr3:[EDTA] + NaOCl + SS, Gr4:[MA] + NaOCl + SS, Gr5:[Ch] + NaOCl + SS). Post and core pattern were fabricated with pattern resin and a fiber post, after scanning, the posts were milled with Vita Enamic resin ceramic block, and cemented. After 7 days the roots were sliced at thicknesses of 1 mm; half of them were subjected to mPBS test, while the other half were tested after undergoing mechanical cycling for artificial aging. For data analysis, the Shapiro-Wilk test was utilized to test normal distributions, 3-way analysis of variance was used to compare mPBS, and Tukey's HSD test was conducted for multiple comparisons. SEM analysis was performed for examination of failure modes and smear layer removal. Different root canal irrigation protocols affected mPBS significantly. While Gr4 had the highest mPBS, Gr1 had the lowest. Regarding to different zones, the highest mPBS was in coronal zone, and the lowest one was in the apical zone. The aging procedure also led to a statistically-significant decrease in mPBS. Most frequent failure modes were cohesive failure in dentin and mixed failure. Irrigation with 7%MA (Gr4) showed better performance than 17% EDTA (Gr3) in smear layer removal, especially at the apical zone of the tooth. This is critical for the success of root canal treatment and increased the mPBS to a higher extent in all zones of the tooth.

Abstract
Introduction Chemical irrigation is a crucial component of endodontic therapy, and irrigation adjuncts increase the efficiency of non-surgical root canal system disinfection, reduce microbial loads, and enhance the penetration of irrigants throughout the root canal system. This study aimed to determine the current trends in chemical irrigation and its adjunct use during root canal therapy by general dental practitioners (GDPs) and endodontic specialists in both government and private sectors in the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods This cross-sectional study used a self-administered survey sent to GDPs and endodontic specialists in both government and private sectors in the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Responses were accepted from November 2019 till May 2020. The survey was randomly distributed to consenting participants. The results are presented using descriptive statistics. Results A total of 302 participants responded to the survey, with a 44% response rate. The majority of responses were from GDPs (54%), while 46% were from endodontic specialists. Regarding the workplace, 59% of respondents were public sector professionals, 25% were private sector professionals, and 16% were both public and private sector professionals. Around 30% of the respondents used sodium hypochlorite (NaOCI) as their primary irrigation solution during root canal treatment, with 52% using it at its full-strength concentration and 18% and 17% preferring to use it in combination with Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) only or EDTA and saline, respectively. When asked to rank the reasons for choosing their irrigant of choice during therapy; antibacterial capability and tissue dissolution were the most crucial factors to 80% and 57% of participants, respectively. Half of the respondents irrigated the canal to 2 mm from the apex and 21% irrigated to 1 mm from the apex. Three-quarters of participants aimed to remove the smear layer during root canal treatment. Only 47% of respondents used adjuncts to irrigation, and 71% reported that their choice of irrigation solution would differ depending on whether the apex is open or closed. Conclusion Most respondents used full-strength NaOCI concentration as the main irrigation solution and routinely removed the smear layer during root canal treatment. Only 47% of respondents used irrigation adjuncts such as ultrasonics.

Abstract
AIM To assess the impact of adjunctive final root canal disinfection regime curcumin photosensitizer (CP) activated by Photodynamic therapy (PDT), Er, Cr: YSGG laser (ECL), and Potassium titanyl Phosphate (KTP) laser on the bond integrity of two endodontic Bioceramic (BC) sealers. MATERIALS AND METHOD Decoration of eighty human single-rooted teeth was performed up to a cementoenamel junction. After instrumentation, all samples were irrigated with 2.25% NaOCl solution followed by 17% EDTA. The specimens were divided arbitrarily into 8 groups (n = 10) based on the adjunctive final irrigation method used. Group 1 and 5 (Control): No adjunctive regime, cleaned using 2.25% NaOCl + 17% EDTA, group 2 and group 6: CP activated by PDT, Group 3 and Group 7 using ECL, Group 4 and Group 8: KTP laser. Following disinfection samples in groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 were obturated using Sankin apatite root canal sealer (SARS). Specimens in groups 5, 6, 7, and 8 were obturated using Pro-root endo sealer (PRES). Sectioning of samples was performed. The sectioned specimens were subjected to a compressive loading exerted via a steel plunger moving at a 0.5 mm/min crosshead speed till debonding. Means and standard deviations (SD) of EBS of BC sealer with the root canal dentin were assessed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Post Hoc Tukey multiple comparison tests. The level of significance was measured at p = 0.05. RESULTS The coronal section of samples in group 5 (Na-E-PRES) exhibited the highest bond value. The lowest PBS was displayed by the middle third of specimens in group 6. Group 1 (Na-E-SARS), group 3 (Na-E-ECL-SARS), group 5 (Na-E-PRES), and group 7 (Na-E-ECL-PRES) exhibited comparable bond values (p>0.05). Whereas, group 2 (Na-E-PDT-SARS) and group 4 (Na-E-PTPL-SARS), group 6 (Na-E-PDT-PRES), and group 8 (Na-E-PTPL-PRES) were found to be comparable (p>0.05). CONCLUSION Adjunctive use of Er, Cr: YSGG laser displayed better extrusion bond strength with BC root canal sealer compared to CP activated by PDT and KTP laser. Bond strength is influenced by the type of irrigation.

Abstract
Background and objective The use of a chelating agent as an adjunct to disinfectant irrigation is very necessary to remove the smear layer formed during root canal treatment. However, the decalcifying solutions have a negative impact on dentin microhardness, which might affect the result of endodontic therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of 17% ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), a novel silver-citrate root canal irrigation solution (BioAkt), 10% citric acid, and 40% citric acid on the microhardness of root canal dentin. Materials and methods Forty-five single-root teeth were distributed equally into five groups A, B, C, D, and E treated with distilled water as a control, 17% EDTA, BioAkt, 10% citric acid, and 40% citric acid, respectively. The dentin microhardness was measured before and after the experiment, and the collected data were analyzed using paired sample T-test, One-way ANOVA test, and least significant difference (LSD) test (multiple comparisons), (P < 0.05). Result The results showed that the averages of dentin microhardness values before the experiment were 62.83 kg/mm², 65.34 kg/mm², 64.79 kg/mm², 62.95 kg/mm², and 56.47 kg/mm² for groups A, B, C, D, and E, respectively, while the averages after the experiment were 62.60 kg/mm², 54.92 kg/mm², 54.50 kg/mm², 51.31 kg/mm², and 49.37kg/mm² accordingly. Statistical analysis revealed that 17% EDTA, BioAkt, 10% citric acid, and 40% citric acid decreased the dentin microhardness significantly comparing with the negative control group, without statistical differences among them. Conclusion The chelating agents 17% EDTA, BioAkt, 10% citric acid, and 40% citric acid declined the microhardness of root canal dentin similarly, which might have possible effects on endodontic treatment and the properties of root canal filling materials as well.

Abstract
Introduction The success of endodontic treatment is achieved by the complete elimination of pulpal infection and protection from future invasion of microorganisms. Due to the complex structure of the root canal, complete eradication of microorganisms is not possible and is a major challenge for successful endodontic treatment. Therefore, microbiological studies are needed to explore the effect of various disinfection methods. Aim and objective The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of root canal disinfection by using a diode laser (in pulse and continuous modes) and sodium hypochlorite by microbiological assessment. Materials and methods Forty-five patients were selected and randomly divided into three groups. After gaining patency to the root canal the first sample from the root canal was taken using a sterile absorbent paper point and transferred to a sterile tube containing a normal saline medium. Biomechanical preparation was performed with Dentsply Protaper hand files of each corresponding group and was disinfected with group I (diode light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (LASER) 980 nm with 3 W in continuous mode for 20 seconds), group II (diode LASER 980 nm with 3 W in pulse mode for 20 seconds), group III (irrigated with 5.25% of sodium hypochlorite for 5 minutes). Pre- and post-samples of each group were inoculated on sheep blood agar and examined for any bacterial growth. After the microbial evaluation of the total microbial count of pre- and post-samples, the data obtained were tabulated and statistically analyzed. Results The data were evaluated and analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) on Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Groups I, II, and III all three groups showed significant differences (p < 0.01) and an overall reduction in the microbial count at postbiomechanical preparation (BMP) as compared to pre-BMP with the highest being in laser in continuous mode (group I) (91.9%), followed by 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (group III) (86.5%) and LASER in pulse mode (group II) (72.0%) the least. Conclusion The study concluded that the diode laser in continuous mode is more efficacious than the diode laser in pulse mode and 5.2% sodium hypochlorite, respectively.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of needle design and irrigant flow rate on the removal of Enterococcus faecalis mature biofilms during sodium hypochlorite irrigation. Forty-eight single-rooted human teeth were instrumented (ProTaper F3), autoclaved and inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis to establish a two-week-old biofilm. E. faecalis biofilms were treated with Sodium hypochlorite that was injected in the root canals using three types of needles (NaviTip, ProRinse, IrriFlex). For the IrriFlex needle, one, two, or four bars of pressure was applied to the irrigating solution to increase flow rates. Bacteria were labeled with the LIVE/DEAD BacLight Bacterial Viability kit, and viability was assessed by flow cytometry (FCM). Results were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey multiple comparison intervals (α = 0.05). Bacterial viability was significantly reduced after sodium hypochlorite passive irrigation but the number of viable bacteria retrieved from root canal specimens irrigated with the Pro-Rinse needle was significantly higher compared to NaviTip and IrriFlex needles (p < 0.05). When the irrigant flow rate was increased, the viability of bacterial biofilms was significantly reduced compared to passive irrigation using the IrriFlex needle (p < 0.05). Applying higher flow rates during irrigation using the IrriFlex needle did not further reduce bacterial viability.

Abstract
Irrigation is considered the primary means of cleaning and disinfection of the root canal system. The purpose of this review was to set the framework for the obstacles that irrigation needs to overcome, to critically appraise currently used irrigants and irrigation methods, to highlight knowledge gaps and methodological limitations in the available studies and to provide directions for future developments. Organization of bacteria in biofilms located in anatomic intricacies of the root canal system and the difficulty to eliminate them is the main challenge for irrigants. Sodium hypochlorite remains the primary irrigant of choice, but it needs to be supplemented by a chelator. Delivery of the irrigants using a syringe and needle and activation by an ultrasonic file are the most popular irrigation methods. There is no evidence that any adjunct irrigation method, including ultrasonic activation, can improve the long‐term outcome of root canal treatment beyond what can be achieved by instrumentation and syringe irrigation. It is necessary to redefine the research priorities in this field and investigate in greater depth the penetration of the irrigants, their effect on the biofilm and the long‐term treatment outcome. New studies must also focus on clinically relevant comparisons, avoid methodological flaws and have sufficiently large sample sizes to reach reliable conclusions. Future multidisciplinary efforts combining the knowledge from basic sciences such as Chemistry, Microbiology and Fluid Dynamics may lead to more effective antimicrobials and improved activation methods to bring them closer to the residual biofilm in the root canal system.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of cleaning protocols on the presence of residues, open dentinal tubules, and bond strength of a self-etch adhesive plus a dual-cure resin cement to dentin in the fiber-post space. The methods for cleaning utilized were conventional irrigation (CI), rotary brush with continuous rotary movement (RB), and continuous ultrasonic irrigation (CUI). Sixty bovine incisors were used for fiber-post space preparation. Thirty roots were divided into three groups (n = 10) according to the cleaning protocols and submitted to scanning electron microscope to evaluate presence of residues and relative quantity of open dentinal tubules on dentin surface. Similar protocols were performed in the other thirty roots (n = 10) using a self-etching adhesive system (Scotchbond Universal) and a dual-cure resin cement (Relyx Unicem 2). After 6 months cervical, middle, and apical thirds sections of fiber-post space were submitted to push-out testing. To data ANOVA and Tukey's test were employed (α = 5%). RB and CUI showed the lowest presence of residues on dentin surface (p = .015) and the highest bond strength values (p < .001), regardless of the dentin third. CUI presented the highest quantity of open dentinal tubules in middle and apical thirds (p < .001). CI presented the lowest bond strength value of resin cement, regardless of dentin third (p < .001). Mechanical cleaning protocols, such as RB and CUI, presented better surface cleaning capabilities and higher bond strength than CI with dual-cure resin cement employed. The use of a mechanical cleaning protocol seems to cause appropriate condition on the root dentin surface. Mechanical cleaning of root dentin provided greater bond strength of the self-etching system with dual resin cement. Conventional irrigation did not provide adequate root dentin cleaning.

Abstract
Root canal curvature and calcification introduce factors that increase the risk of procedural accidents during root canal treatment. The inability to achieve patency to the apical third, asymmetrical dentine removal leading to transportation, perforation and instrument fracture inside the curved trajectories are some of the procedural problems that might jeopardize the management of intraradicular infection and result in poor treatment outcomes. In fact, curved and constricted canals introduce such complexity that total instrumentation concepts and specially designed instruments have been developed to deal with the challenge. This narrative review seeks to provide and consolidate the principles necessary for understanding the dynamics of curved and constricted canal management and to improve the understanding for future developments in this field.

Ex Vivo Effect of Novel Lipophosphonoxins on Root Canal Biofilm Produced by Enterococcus faecalis: Pilot Study. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12010129. [PMID: 35054522 PMCID: PMC8781533 DOI: 10.3390/life12010129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Revised: 01/09/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: The root canal system has complex anatomical and histological features that make it impossible to completely remove all bacteria by mechanical means only; they must be supplemented with disinfectant irrigation. Current disinfectants are unable to eliminate certain microorganisms that persist in the root canal, resulting in treatment failure. At the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Prague, novel substances with the bactericidal effect, termed lipophosphonoxins (LPPOs), have been discovered. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the ex vivo effects of second- and third-generation LPPOs on Enterococcus faecalis and compare them with 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate, and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). (2) Methods: The root canal’s dentin was used as a carrier for biofilm formation in the extracted human mature mandibular premolars. The samples were filled with cultivation broth and 0.25% glucose with tested solutions. In control samples, only fresh cultivation broth (negative control) and cultivation broth with bacterial suspension (growth control) were used. Each sample was inoculated with E. faecalis CCM4224 except for the negative control, and cultivation was performed. To determine the number of planktonic cells, the sample content was inoculated on blood agar. To evaluate biofilm formation inhibition, samples were placed in tubes with BHI. (3) Results: LPPOs exhibited a reduction in biofilm growth and bacteria comparable to NaOCl, and they were superior to other tested disinfectants. (4) Conclusions: The study results suggest the effect of lipophosphonoxins on E. faecalis CCM 4224 reduces planktonic bacterial cells and inhibits formation of biofilm in root canal samples.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of various irrigants on the dislodgement resistance of MTA Repair HP, MTA Angelus, and MTA Flow to root dentin. Three slices (1.0 ± 0.1 mm) were prepared from the middle third of 20 human maxillary anterior teeth. On each dentin disc, three perpendicular simulated perforation holes with a standardized 0.8 mm diameter were created. The sections from the same root were distributed arbitrarily into three groups (n = 20) for smear layer removal procedure: ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), chitosan-based silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-chitosan), and maleic acid (MA). Afterwards, the holes were randomly filled with one of the three investigated cements. The samples were submitted to the push-out test using a universal measuring system. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to assess statistical differences among the groups. When the results were evaluated, it was found that the types of cement and chelating agents significantly affected the dislocation resistance (P < 0.05). EDTA provided a higher dislocation resistance with the investigated cements in comparison to MA and AgNPs-chitosan (P < 0.05). Furthermore, it was observed that MTA Flow and MTA Angelus presented improved dislocation resistance values than the MTA Repair HP when used with EDTA (P < 0.05). The findings indicated that EDTA increased the dislodgement resistance of the investigated cements. In conclusion, when EDTA used, MTA Flow, and MTA Angelus showed higher dislocation resistance values.

Abstract
This study assessed influence of 1% phytic acid and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on the dentinal tubules penetration of EndoSequence BC bioceramic-based and AH Plus resin-based sealers using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Forty single-rooted mandibular premolars were divided randomly into four groups (n = 10). Group 1 received final irrigation with 1% phytic acid solution and canals sealed by AH Plus sealer, Group 2: 1% phytic acid solution and EndoSequence BC sealer, Group 3: 17% EDTA solution and AH Plus sealer and Group 4: 17% EDTA solution and EndoSequence BC sealer. Specimens were horizontally sectioned 2, 4 and 6 mm from the apex. Average maximum depth of sealer penetration was examined using CLSM. Group three showed the deepest sealer penetration at all three levels which was significantly higher than all other groups (P ˂ 0.05). Deep sealer penetration is achievable with AH Plus and EDTA. Phytic acid groups have moderate tubular penetration ability.

Abstract
Background Phytic acid (IP6) is a promising and emerging agent, and because of its unique structure and distinctive properties, it lends itself to several applications in dentistry. Recently, IP6 was proposed as a potential chelating agent in endodontics. However, there is limited knowledge regarding its antimicrobial and antibiofilm effectiveness. The aims of this study, were therefore to evaluate the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of IP6 against a range of microbial species and compare these with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). The contact time required for IP6 to exert its bactericidal effect on Enterococcus faecalis was also determined. Methods The inhibitory and biocidal activities of IP6, EDTA and NaOCl were assessed using a broth microdilution assay against 11 clinical and reference strains of bacteria and a reference strain of Candida albicans. The contact time required for various IP6 concentrations to eliminate planktonic cultures of E. faecalis was determined using a membrane filtration method according to BS-EN-1040:2005. IP6 bactericidal activity was also evaluated using fluorescent microscopy, and the antibiofilm activity of the test agents was also determined. Results IP6 was biocidal against all tested microorganisms. At concentrations of 0.5%, 1% and 2%, IP6 required 5 min to exert a bactericidal effect on E. faecalis, while 5% IP6 was bactericidal after 30 s. IP6 also eradicated biofilms of the tested microorganisms. In conclusion, IP6 had notable antimicrobial effects on planktonic and biofilm cultures and exhibited rapid bactericidal effects on E. faecalis. This research highlighted, for the first time the antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties of IP6, which could be exploited, not only in dental applications, but also other fields where novel strategies to counter antimicrobial resistance are required.

Abstract
AIM To assess the influence of different photosensitizers activated by PDT as a disinfectant in comparison to conventional sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on the EBS (extrusion bond strength) of FRCP with radicular dentin. METHODS A total of fifty single-rooted human maxillary central incisors with fully developed apices were selected. Endodontic treatment of samples was performed using 10K file to obtain patency than sequentially with a 25K file followed by rotary pro tapers till F2 with constant irrigation. The canal was dried and obturated with corresponding gutta-percha and sealer. A Peso reamer was employed to prepare post space. Based on canal disinfection regimes, samples were divided into five groups. Group 1 Riboflavin (RF)+17%EDTA, group 2 Rose bengal (RB) +17%EDTA, group 3 Curcumin CP +17%EDTA, group 4 Porfimer sodium, Photofrin (PS) +17%EDTA and group 5 2.25% NaOCl +17% EDTA (control). Following disinfection, the canal space of all specimens was dried followed by FRCP cementation. Specimens were placed on a Universal testing machine (UTM) for EBS. The type of bond failure was evaluated using a stereomicroscope. ANOVA and Tukey multiple comparison tests were used to compare means. RESULTS The highest EBS was shown by group 1 canal disinfected with riboflavin (RF) and 17% EDTA at all three levels. The lowest EBS was displayed in group 5 canal cleaned with 2.25% NaOCl and 17% EDTA. Intragroup assessment disclosed a decrease in EBS from cervical one-third to apical one-third in all experimental groups. Intergroup comparison revealed group 4 using PS and 17% EDTA and group 5 canal disinfected with 2.25% NaOCl and 17% EDTA at all three levels of root structure coronal, middle, and apical exhibited comparable EBS (p>0.05). CONCLUSION Root canal dentin treated with different PS (RF, RB, CP) has the potential to be used as canal disinfection as it demonstrates better EBS than the conventional disinfecting regime (2.25% NaOCl +17% EDTA). PS and 17% EDTA as a canal disinfectant need further investigation.

Abstract
Summary
Background/Aim: Many irrigation solutions are used during root canal treatment. It is unacceptable to confuse irrigation solutions with anesthetic solution and inadvertently inject the patient. After such an error, local and systemic serious complications can be seen in the patient. The purpose of this case report is to show how careless use of etilendiamin tetraacedic acid (EDTA) can result in important complications, and offer some treatment methods for curing symptoms resulting from such complications.
Case Report: A 17% EDTA solution, was inadvertently injected in the buccal mucosa of a 20-year-old male during routine root canal treatment. Severe pain, bleeding and mucosal swelling occurred shortly after the injection. Irrigation with saline was performed by sliding the mucoperiosteal flap at the injection site. Then the flap was sutured primary. At the control one week later, there were no areas of necrosis in the patient, but ecchymosis occurred. Decalcified areas were not detected in dental volumetric tomography examination.
Conclusions: The dentists must apply the precautions of EDTA irrigation solution during the root canal treatment and manage the treatment of this clinical complication.

Abstract
Background The heating of chelating agents such as EDTA increases dentin wettability by decreasing surface tension. However, the calcium ion release effect of preheated chelating agents in instrumented root canals has not yet been mentioned. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the number of calcium ions removed by the pre-heated chelating agents from the root canals.
Material and Methods After 51 bovine teeth were instrumented, three of them were separated as negative controls and the remaining teeth were divided into six groups according to the temperature of the solution (at 22 or 37ºC): EDTA-22, CITRIC-22, QMix-22, EDTA-37, CITRIC-37 and QMix-37. Following irrigation, calcium ion levels were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer in chelating agents collected from the root canals.
Results QMix solution eliminated significantly more calcium ions than other chelating agents at different temperatures (p< 0.05). Regardless of the heating, QMix and 17% EDTA were significantly superior to 40% Citric acid (p< 0.05) while no significant difference was detected between QMix and 17% EDTA groups (p< 0.05). Heating all chelating agents did not significantly increase their ability to remove calcium ions from pre-instrumented root canals (P< 0.05). In the SEM examination, it was observed that the smear layer was removed from the middle third of the roots, except for the negative control group.
Conclusions Temperature changes have shown that these agents do not increase the ability of the smear layer to dissolve the inorganic structure. QMix at different temperatures may be recommended to use as the final chelating agent. Key words:EDTA, citric acid, QMix, calcium ions, temperature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE TruNatomy and XP-endo Shaper are recently introduced file systems showing increased fatigue resistance rate. The present study aims to evaluate the surface topographic changes and nickel (Ni) and titanium (Ti) elemental loss of XP-endo Shaper (XPS) and TruNatomy (TN) files on exposure to conventionally used root canal irrigants; [5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)] at a 10 minute time frame using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analytical techniques. METHODS Twelve samples for each of XPS (30/.04 taper) and TN (26/.04 taper; prime) instruments were dynamically exposed to 5.25% NaOCl, 17% EDTA separately for 10 minutes and in combination of 5.25% NaOCl (8 minutes)+17% EDTA (2 minutes) for a total of 10 minutes. Post exposure, the files were subjugated to AFM and EDX analysis. Independent t test and one-way ANOVA were used for statistical analysis, and the level of significance was set at 0.05. RESULTS XPS and TN showed a significant increase of surface roughness (Ra) and roughness mean square (RMS) on exposure to various irrigants (P<0.05) using AFM analysis. Increased overall roughness was observed with TN in comparison to XPS (P<0.05). Elements Ni and Ti loss was found in both XPS and TN files using EDX analysis. Both files exhibited Ni and Ti loss with the loss of Ni content higher for TN after exposure to 17% EDTA. Loss of Ti was seen for both files on exposure to a combination of 5.25% NaOCl+17% EDTA. CONCLUSION After exposure to root canal irrigants, the surface roughness was lesser in XPS compared to TN files. 17% EDTA caused significantly higher surface roughness in both file systems when compared to 5.25% NaOCl. TN exhibited overall higher elemental (Ni and Ti) loss on exposure to 17% EDTA and 5.25% NaOCl+17% EDTA in comparison to XPS files.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine the penetration depth into dentinal tubules of some chelating agents. The 17% EDTA and two preparations containing surfactants (Smear Clear, Bioakt Endo) were tested. Surface tension and liquid viscosity were measured using a Dynamic Contact Angle Analyzer and a Haake rotational rheometer. To measure the penetration depth inside dentinal tubules, thirty maxillary central incisors were selected from a pool of extracted human permanent teeth and allocated to three experimental groups (10 samples each), as well as were mechanically shaped and cleansed with 5.25% NaOCl, followed by each of the chelators being labeled with 0.1 wt % Rhodamine B according to final irrigation protocol established. The samples were embedded in an epoxy resin, after which 200 μm thick transverse sections were obtained at 2, 5, and 8 mm from the apex with a saw microtome. The specimens were then observed using a confocal laser microscope (CLSM) and the penetration of the labeled solution was measured in every third of each sample. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis tests according to the distribution of data, evaluated with the Shapiro-Wilk normality test. Viscosity and surface tension tests have shown that BioAKT Endo has the lowest values compared to EDTA and Smear Clear. The medium penetration depth did not significantly differ among the three irrigants, while it increased considerably from the apical to the coronal level in all groups. Additionally, the maximum penetration depth increased significantly from the apical to coronal level, while among groups, BioAKT Endo showed the highest values at the apical and middle level compared to the other irrigants. No significant differences were observed among the three groups in medium and maximum penetration depths when the entire root was considered. New irrigants containing surfactants show reduced surface tension and, in one case (BioAKT Endo), viscosity. The lowering of the surface tension allows for better penetration of liquids into dentinal tubules than EDTA alone, thus improving the cleaning of the root canal system.

Influence of remaining axial walls on of root filled teeth restored with a single crown and adhesively bonded fibre post: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Dent 2021; 114:103813. [PMID: 34530058 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2021.103813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Revised: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 09/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To synthesise evidence on structural failures and prevalence of post-treatment endodontic disease (PTD) in anterior and posterior root filled teeth with a single crown and adhesively bonded fibre post with regards to the number of axial walls. DATA An electronic search was performed, no language constraints or restriction on the year of publication were applied. SOURCES PubMed, Medline, Cochrane and Scopus on 13th of July 2021. STUDY SELECTION Clinical studies that reported the remaining number of axial walls for permanent anterior and posterior root filled teeth (RFT) restored with single crowns and adhesively bonded fibre posts with a minimum of 1 year follow-up were included. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines [1] were used. The number of axial walls and the success/failures were analysed as follows: fibre post and/or core decementation, post and/or core fracture and post treatment endodontic disease, and root fracture. CONCLUSIONS A total of 811 studies were identified with 5 meeting the inclusion criteria. The two randomized controlled trials included had 'some concerns' as determined by the Cochrane risk-of-bias 2 tool while the Newcastle-Ottawa scale found low risk of bias for the remaining three studies. The random effects model for subgroup meta-analysis revealed failures for posterior RFT increased with decreasing numbers of remaining walls. Failures for 0 remaining walls were 23% (95% CI = 10% - 36%) and for one remaining wall 15% (CI: 3% -26%), irrespective of follow-up times. Fibre post debonding and PTD increased with decreasing numbers of walls. Relative & catastrophic failure of posterior teeth restored with a fibre post and single crown after root canal treatment increased with decreasing numbers of remaining axial walls. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This synthesis is unique as it minimizes the presence of confounding factors by reviewing evidence of failures and post-treatment endodontic disease associated with teeth restored with single crowns. Therefore, it provides valuable predictive evidence of potential coronal restoration catastrophes and post-treatment endodontic disease associated with root filled teeth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Periapical lesions are a pаthological changes that occur in most of poorly endodontically treated teeth. Endodontic and periodontal diseases are caused by a mixed anaerobic infection. Periodontal disease produces lesions in the tooth-supporting tissues. Generalized periodontitis comprises hard and soft tissue at the whole dentition. Surgical methods of treatment include etiological and pathogenetic methods – removal of pathological tissue, destruction of the bacterial causative agent, and recovery of lost tissue. Recognition and management of risk factors (local and general) increase the chances of a successful treatment outcome. The combined surgical protocol presented in this article is the last step before extraction. Especially in the frontal area, dentist should try to keep the esthetics, maintaining the tooth and the surrounding bone.
CASE REPORT: The presented patient is a 59-year-old lady with generalized periodontal disease and periodontitis apicalis chronica dentis 21. Bone graft covered by soft-tissue graft was used to fill the defects around the apex and surrounding the teeth. After 5 months, the apical lesion was in very good condition according to radiological and clinical examination. The periodontal lesion was almost at the same vertical condition as the initial situation, but this surgery method aims to make bone thicker for support of the mucosa. The risk factors were smoking, average level of oral hygiene, and osteoporosis.
CONCLUSION: The combination of different clinical protocols is a necessity in surgical practice. Knowledge of the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease allows the application of adequate methods of treatment. The result was satisfactory.

Abstract
This systematic review (PROSPERO - CRD42020150722) was performed to answer the following question: Does the use of chelating agents affect the dislodgment resistance of epoxy resin-based root canal sealers? A search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, LILACS and Web of Science, hand searching of two endodontic journals and grey literature until September 2020. Extracted data included: teeth used, sample size, root canal preparation, irrigant, chelating solution, neutralisation solution, type of resin-based sealer and obturation approach, storage method and duration, root third and slice thickness, plunger dimension and loading direction and the push-out testing parameters and values. The search retrieved a total of 2.389 studies. After analysis, 12 studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were included. Most of the final irrigation protocols with chelating agents had a positive impact and promoted an improvement in the dislodgment resistance of epoxy resin-based sealers to the root dentin.

Inhibition of phage-resistant bacterial pathogen re-growth with the combined use of bacteriophages and EDTA. Food Microbiol 2021; 100:103853.

Abstract
The combined effects of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and bacteriophage (phage) treatment of foodborne pathogens were investigated. Although viable counts for Campylobacter jejuni decreased by 1.5 log after incubation for 8 h in the presence of phage PC10, re-growth was observed thereafter. The combination of phage PC10 and 1 mM EDTA significantly inhibited the re-growth of C. jejuni. The viable counts for C. jejuni decreased by 2.6 log (P < 0.05) compared with that of the initial count after 24 h. Moreover, EDTA at 0.67 or 1.3 mM, combined with the specific lytic phages, also effectively inhibited the re-growth of phage-resistant cells of Campylobacter coli, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis, and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. In addition, the combined effects of lytic phages and EDTA were investigated on the viability of Campylobacter in BHI broth at low temperatures followed by the optimum growth temperature. The re-growth of C. coli was significantly inhibited by the coexistence of 1.3 mM EDTA, and the viable counts of surviving bacteria was about the same as the initial viable count after the incubation. This is the first study demonstrating the combined use of lytic phages and EDTA is effective in inhibiting the re-growth of phage-resistant bacteria in Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
Dental treatment is provided for a wide variety of oral health problems like dental caries, periodontal diseases, periapical infections, replacement of missing teeth and orthodontic problems. Various biomaterials, like composite resins, amalgam, glass ionomer cement, acrylic resins, metal alloys, impression materials, bone grafts, membranes, local anaesthetics, etc., are used for dental applications. The physical and chemical characteristics of these materials influence the outcome of dental treatment. It also impacts on the biological, allergic and toxic potential of biomaterials. With innovations in science and their positive results, there is also a need for awareness about the biological risks of these biomaterials. The aim of dental treatment is to have effective, yet safe, and long-lasting results for the benefit of patients. For this, it is important to have a thorough understanding of biomaterials and their effects on local and systemic health. Materials used in dentistry undergo a series of analyses before their oral applications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first and original review that discusses the reasons for and studies on the toxicity of commonly used biomaterials for applications in dentistry. It will help clinicians to formulate a methodical approach for the selection of dental biomaterials, thus providing an awareness for forecasting their risk of toxic reactions.

Microsc Res Tech 2021; 84:584-591. [PMID: 33044039 DOI: 10.1002/jemt.23616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2020] [Revised: 09/16/2020] [Accepted: 09/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), Irritrol, and QMix solutions used with manual irrigation and diode and erbium, chromium-doped yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser activation on the bonding ability of sealer to the intraradicular dentin. The root canals of 90 mandibular incisors were instrumented, and the teeth were allocated randomly to nine groups (n = 10/group) receiving final irrigation with different irrigation solutions (EDTA, Irritrol, and QMix) and irrigant activation techniques (manual, diode laser, and Er,Cr:YSGG laser). Following endodontic filling, three sections of 1-mm thickness were obtained from the middle third of each root. The root filling was subjected to a push-out test to examine the bond strength of the sealer to dentin. The test data were examined using analysis of variance with a significance level of ɑ < .05. Failure modes were determined by stereomicroscopy, and the surface characteristics of dentin were observed by scanning electron microscopy. Irritrol showed less push-out bond strength than did the other solutions in the Er,Cr:YSGG laser groups (p < .05). In the diode laser groups, QMix provided greater adhesion than did Irritrol (p < .05). The activation of QMix with the Er,Cr:YSGG laser increased the bond strength more than did manual irrigation (p < .05). No other significant difference was observed between other comparison pairs (p > .05). QMix provided adhesion superior to that of Irritrol when activated with diode and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers. Er,Cr:YSGG laser activation increased the adhesion of filling material with QMix irrigation.
