Abstract
BACKGROUND The main issues faced during the treatment of apical periodontitis are the management of bacterial infection and the facilitation of the repair of alveolar bone defects to shorten disease duration. Conventional root canal irrigants are limited in their efficacy and are associated with several side effects. This study introduces a synergistic therapy based on nitric oxide (NO) and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) for the treatment of apical periodontitis. RESULTS This research developed a multifunctional nanoparticle, CGP, utilizing guanidinylated poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (ε-Caprolactone) polymer as a carrier, internally loaded with the photosensitizer chlorin e6. During root canal irrigation, the guanidino groups on the surface of CGP enabled effective biofilm penetration. These groups undergo oxidation by hydrogen peroxide in the aPDT process, triggering the release of NO without hindering the production of singlet oxygen. The generated NO significantly enhanced the antimicrobial capability and biofilm eradication efficacy of aPDT. Furthermore, CGP not only outperforms conventional aPDT in eradicating biofilms but also effectively promotes the repair of alveolar bone defects post-eradication. Importantly, our findings reveal that CGP exhibits significantly higher biosafety compared to sodium hypochlorite, alongside superior therapeutic efficacy in a rat model of apical periodontitis. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that CGP, an effective root irrigation system based on aPDT and NO, has a promising application in root canal therapy.

Abstract
The interaction of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) produces an orange-brown precipitate. The present study evaluated the influence of distilled water (H2 O) in different irrigation protocols designed to prevent the formation of precipitate with NaOCl and CHX. Fifty canine teeth were instrumented and split longitudinally. The canal was examined with a stereomicroscope and photographed by canal-thirds. The tooth halves were repositioned and distributed randomly into five groups, according to the final irrigation protocol (n = 10): G1 (control)-Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) + NaOCl + CHX, conventional irrigation (CI); G2-EDTA + NaOCl + CHX, activated with passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI); G3-EDTA (PUI) + NaOCl (PUI) + H2 O (CI) + CHX (PUI); G4-EDTA + NaOCl + H2 O + CHX (PUI); G5-EDTA (PUI) + NaOCl (PUI) + H2 O (continuous ultrasonic irrigation [CUI]) + CHX (PUI). The specimens were evaluated with a stereomicroscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy analysis was performed to identify the elemental profile of the irrigated canal walls. The images were scored according to the extensiveness of precipitate. Data were analyzed (Kruskal-Wallis test, α = 5%). Under the stereomicroscope, G1 had significantly higher scores than all the other groups in all canal-thirds (p < .05). All four experimental groups showed similar scores (p > .05). There were no significant differences in precipitate formation among root-thirds in intragroup analysis (p > .05). Upon SEM examination, overall, only G5 had lower scores than G1 (p < .05). Analysis by canal-thirds showed no significant difference among groups and among canal-thirds in the intragroup analysis (p > .05). G1 showed high Cl peaks. In-between irrigation with H2 O activated by CUI is effective in preventing precipitate formation during canal debridement with NaOCl and CHX. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: Continuous ultrasonic irrigation with distilled water was capable to prevent the precipitate formation. The precipitate can be classified as a chemical smear layer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the extrusion bond values of fiber post to radicular dentin when disinfected using different final irrigants lemon garlic extract (LGE), riboflavin (RFP) activated by PDT (photodynamic therapy), and Q-mix 2-in-1. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty single-rooted mandibular premolar teeth were decoronated. Endodontic treatment was performed, and the canals were continually irrigated with normal saline, dried with paper points, and obturated. Post space was prepared by removing gutta-percha using peso-reamers. All specimens were randomly allocated into four groups based on the final irrigant used. Specimens in Group 1 irrigated with: 5.25% NaOCl+17% EDTA, group 2: 5.25% NaOCl+Q-mix 2-in-1, group 3: 5.25% NaOCl+RFP, and group 4: 5.25% NaOCl+LGE. Following final irrigation, a fiber post was placed in the canal space and luted. Samples were sectioned and each section was placed in a universal testing machine to assess bond values. Debonded samples were assessed for failure modes, EBS and modes of failure. For comparisons among groups, the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and the Post-Hoc Tukey HSD test were used keeping the level of significance at p=0.05. RESULTS The cervical section of samples in group 2 (NaOCL+Qmix) (7.11±0.81 MPa) exhibited the maximum value of EBS. However, the apical section of samples in group 3 (5.25% NaOCl+RFP) (3.33±0.26 MPa) displayed minimum extrusion bond values. Group 3 specimens in which final irrigation was performed with RFP established significantly lower bond integrity values than all the other investigated groups coronal (3.77±0.13 MPa), middle (3.60±0.41 MPa), and apical (3.33±0.26 MPa) (p<0.05). Intragroup comparison analysis, the coronal and middle root sections of all the experimental groups displayed comparable outcomes of EBS (p>0.05). However, near the apical section of the root, the bond strength of all the groups declined considerably. CONCLUSIONS Q-mix 2-in-1 as the final irrigant displayed the highest extrusion bond strength of fiber-reinforced composite to canal dentin at all three levels coronal, middle and apical. Lemon garlic extract has the potential to be used alternative to ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid as a final irrigant.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate effects of a novel auxiliary irrigation strategy, proanthocyanidin (PA) + carboxymethyl chitosan/amorphous calcium phosphate (CMC/ACP) nanocomplexes, on maintaining the organic-inorganic structural integrity and hence optimizing the adhesion strength of root dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dentin specimens (n = 150) were prepared and subjected to the classical irrigating strategy with or without PA and CMC/ACP. The ultrastructure and biomechanical behaviour of dentin were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscope, respectively. Forty single root-canal premolars were employed for push-out bond strength testing. Besides, the antibacterial effects against Enterococcus faecalis were evaluated with confocal laser scanning microscopy. Statistical differences were verified with one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-tests. RESULTS The organic-inorganic structural integrity of root dentin was repaired with the synergetic use of PA and CMC/ACP. Correspondingly, the bond stability between the root canal wall and the AH-Plus sealer was significantly reinforced (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the tissue biomechanical properties and antibacterial behaviour were enhanced compared to that of control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The synergistic utilization of PA and CMC/ACP can preserve the structural integrity of root dentin, contributing to optimizing the sealing effects of root canal. Moreover, the novel irrigation strategy demonstrated a favourable antimicrobial activity. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The combination of PA and CMC/ACP can serve as a promising auxiliary irrigation strategy to optimize the outcomes of chemical preparation, enhance the sealing effects of root canal and hence improve the success rate of treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate and compare the effects of the two widely used regenerative endodontics medicaments: Triple antibiotic paste (ciprofloxacine-metronidazole-clindamycin) and calcium hydroxide on the microhardness and degradation of human root dentin. METHODS Following ethical approval and subject consent to use teeth in this research study, 60 singled-rooted permanent human teeth were randomly divided into six groups:(1) Tri-antibiotic paste with distilled water, or with (2) propylene glycol, (3) calcium hydroxide with distilled water, (4) calcium hydroxide propylene glycol, (5) untreated extracted teeth as negative controls, or (6) teeth instrumented and filled with calcium hydroxide or tri-antibiotic paste as positive controls. The microhardness tests were conducted after 1 and 2 months of exposure to the medicaments using a Vickers microhardness tester. Raman spectroscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy were used to evaluate the chemistry and structure of the root dentin. RESULTS There were differences in the dentin microhardness following treatment with the medicaments or controls (P< 0.05). The time of root dentin exposure to the medicaments was similar (P> 0.05). The root dentin microhardness was lower in the teeth treated with the triple antibiotic paste or calcium hydroxide when combined with propylene glycol. The root dentin collagen in these treated teeth were also significantly degraded when viewed with Raman spectroscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, whereas the inorganic phase (dentin) remained unaltered. Samples exposed to the antimicrobial agents with water as a vehicle exhibited stronger microhardness and less degradation. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE These ex vivo results suggest that the triple antibiotic paste and calcium hydroxide should be used with propylene glycol if a fast diffusion is desired or with water to avoid degrading the collagen and weakening the microhardness of the teeth. Clinical trials are needed of new formulations of medicaments with propylene glycol to disinfect teeth for regenerative endodontic procedures, to help strengthen the teeth to prevent the loss of children's permanent immature teeth by fracture following caries or trauma.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to characterize the effectiveness of dentin-conditioning with bio-mineralizable chitosan-hydroxyapatite precursor (CS-HA) nanocomplexes alone or associated with tricalcium silicate sealer (TCS/CS-HA) on the mechanical property and antibiofilm efficacy in root dentin. METHODS Flow tests were performed following ISO6876:2012-specifications. Solubility was measured. Micromorphology was assessed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Nanohardness/elastic modulus were also determined. Fracture resistance was determined on lower premolars that were prepared, and randomly distributed among 7-groups (n=8/group), including the control, CS-HA dentin-conditioning and root canal filled groups. Similar canal preparation/distribution procedure was followed to test the antibacterial effect on Enterococcus faecalis-infected roots. Descriptive statistic was used to report SEM findings. Flowability results were analyzed using Paired t-test. Multiple comparisons from solubility, fracture and antibacterial assays were assessed by one-way ANOVA-Tukey's tests. RESULTS TCS/CS-HA showed optimal flow and no effect on solubility after immersion for 4 weeks (p>.05). TCS/CS-HA significantly increased nanohardness and elastic modulus (210±11.3MPa, 7.9±0.9GPa) compared to TCS (44.5±7.8MPa, 2.1±0.3GPa,p<.05). SEM revealed needle-shaped mineralized structures resulting in fewer voids and a well-adapted sealer-dentin interface in the TCS/CS-HA groups. NaOCl-EDTA irrigation resulted in reduced fracture resistance (444.34N) while CS-HA dentin-conditioning alone (928.28N, p<.05) and CS-HA dentin-conditioning plus CS-HA/TCS resulted in higher fracture resistance (1134.06N, p<.05). CS-HA dentin-conditioning also reduced bacteria by 2.04 log (4.50±0.43) from the initial bacterial load (6.54±0.07, p<.05). There was further bacterial reduction when CS-HA-conditioned root canals were filled with TCS or TCS/CS-HA (0.00 to 0.98±0.57, p>.05). CONCLUSION Dentin modification with CS-HA increased the fracture resistance of root dentin, and decreased the residual bacterial burden. TCS/CS-HA potentiated the nanomechanical and physical properties of TCS.

Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the changes in free available chlorine (FAC) when 6% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is admixed with irrigants 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), and 0.2% chitosan in varying proportions of 90:10, 80:20, and 50:50. MATERIALS AND METHODS The 25 mL aliquots of 6% NaOCl were admixed in varying proportions of 90:10, 80:20, and 50:50 with secondary irrigation solutions: (a) 17% EDTA, (b) 2% CHX, (c) 0.2% chitosan. Iodometric titration was done to evaluate the change in FAC. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. RESULTS On titration, the mean FAC value of NaOCl at baseline was 1.99 g%. On mixing NaOCl with EDTA, the FAC decreased in all the three proportions and the values were 0.17 g%, 0.17 g%, and 0.06 g% at 90:10, 80:20, and 50:50 ratios, respectively. pH obtained was 9.55 at 50:50 ratio. On mixing NaOCl with CHX, FAC reduced and the values were 1.84 g%, 1.72 g%, and 0.27 g% at 90:10, 80:20, and 50:50 ratios, respectively. pH obtained was 10.87 at 50:50 ratio. On mixing NaOCl and chitosan, the FAC remained unaltered in all the three proportions and the values were 1.64 g%, 1.51 g%, and 1.63 g% at 90:10, 80:20, and 50:50 ratios, respectively. pH obtained was 11 at 50:50 ratio. CONCLUSION Combination of NaOCl and chitosan did not lead to a reduction in FAC and the pH of the solution remained unaltered, suggesting that tissue-dissolving property of NaOCl might be preserved. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The combination of chitosan with NaOCl is advantageous in two ways. Firstly, FAC remained unaltered and the pH of the solution was also maintained at 11.05 indicating that the tissue-dissolving property of NaOCl prevailed. Secondly, chitosan is known for its chelating property and is effective in smear layer removal. With further in vivo and in vitro studies, a combination of chitosan and NaOCl can be proposed as a novel irrigant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endodontic treatment is one of the most widely performed procedures in a dental office. New techniques for enhancing the effectiveness of irrigants are being introduced into the dental market. It is crucial to choose a proper method to obtain the highest possible long-term success of performed endodontic treatment. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) appears to be one of the most common and profitable solutions for root canal irrigation. The activation of a solution may be analyzed in 2 fields, physical - turbulence of flow, and chemical - disintegration of irrigant molecules into very active radicals that improve its activity. While the physical alternations of irrigant flow with different techniques are widely studied, there are not many attempts to approach the subject in chemical terms. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to compare the chemical effectiveness of 2 methods of NaOCl activation: ultrasonics vs the Self-Adjusting File system (SAF) as an adjunct to increase the efficacy of the irrigant. MATERIAL AND METHODS The level of activation was evaluated via a reaction of the activated NaOCl samples, with 9-fluorenol as the starting organic material. The model reaction is based on the oxidation of 9-fluorenol to 9-fluorenon. The evaluation was performed using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, comparing the spectra obtained for the examined mixtures. RESULTS Nuclear magnetic resonance studies show that the use of ultrasonics resulted in increased chemical degradation of NaOCl as compared to the SAF system and non-agitated samples. The prevalence of chemical activation in the ultrasonic group over the SAF group was almost 3 times higher, 3.11 to 1.20, respectively. The Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test revealed there is a statistically significant difference in distributions between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Both SAF and ultrasonics activate NaOCl. Ultrasonic agitation provided higher chemical activation of NaOCl solution than the SAF. The use of ultrasonic agitation of NaOCl in endodontic treatment will allow us to obtain better long-term clinical results.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of previous irrigation with chlorhexidine (CHX) on the bond strength of a calcium silicate-based material, Biodentine, when used for furcal repair. Furcal perforations were produced in 30 extracted mandibular molars. Teeth were divided into 3 groups according to the irrigant used: distilled water (DW), CHX followed by DW (CHX), and CHX followed by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and DW (CHX/EDTA). Biodentine was used to repair the perforations. A push-out bond strength test was performed after 7 days, and data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests (P < 0.05). The CHX/EDTA group showed significantly lower values than the DW and CHX groups (P < 0.05). The failure mode of the DW group was mainly mixed, while that of the CHX group was cohesive. The CHX/EDTA group exhibited adhesive and mixed failures. Irrigation with CHX prior to furcation repair did not result in a statistically significant difference, compared to the use of DW, in the push-out bond strength of Biodentine.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION SmearOFF (Vista Dental Products, Racine, WI) is an irrigation solution containing chlorhexidine (CHX), EDTA, and a surfactant. This study examined the chemical interaction of SmearOFF with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on the dentin surface, specifically the formation of precipitate and/or parachloroanaline (PCA). METHODS Dentin blocks prepared from human maxillary molars were mounted in resin. Dentinal tubules were exposed in a perpendicular orientation using an ultracryomicrotome. The blocks were divided into 2 groups: the CHX group, irrigation with 6% NaOCl, 17% EDTA, 6% NaOCl, and 2% CHX, and the SmearOFF group, irrigation with 6% NaOCl and SmearOFF. The dentin surface was analyzed with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to determine the formation of precipitate or/and PCA on the surface of dentin. RESULTS Precipitation with PCA and occlusion of the dentinal tubules were noted on the dentin surface in the CHX group. No precipitate and no PCA were detected on the surface of dentin in the SmearOFF group. CONCLUSIONS Interaction of SmearOFF with NaOCl on the dentin surface did not result in the formation of precipitate or PCA.

Abstract
AIMS The purpose of the present study was to develop techniques to evaluate and quantify the primary components of dental medicament paste mixtures for root canal treatment, and to evaluate if degradation of the primary components occurred during storage. METHODS The first part of the study developed a mass spectrometry (MS) method for determination of best recovery process. For this process, analytical grades of triamcinolone acetonide, clindamycin HCl, and doxycycline hyclate were sourced and analyzed. This was followed by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and an analysis of active components in dental pastes. RESULTS By utilizing the targeted analytical properties of multiple reaction monitoring MS methods, coupled with SPE technique, the active components of endodontic dental pastes could be quantified and compared. The developed methods showed consistency over multiple runs, with a high level of reproducibility. None of the active components of the tested pastes degraded over the periods of product life tested. CONCLUSION The inactivation or destruction of any of the primary components of endodontic medicaments in storage, or when mixed with other pastes, could affect treatment outcomes. The present study provides a reliable technique for the analysis of the active components of root canal medicaments.

Abstract
Objectives To determine the concentration of calcium, iron, manganese and zinc ions after the application of chelator to Enterococcus faecalis biofilms. Material and Methods Fifty bovine maxillary central incisors were prepared and inoculated with E. faecalis for 60 days. The following were used as irrigation solutions: 17% EDTA (pH 3, 7 and 10), 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) combined with 17% EDTA (pH 3, 7 and 10), distilled water (pH 3, 7 and 10), and 2.5% NaOCl. Each solution was kept in the root canal for five minutes. Fifteen uncontaminated root canals were irrigated with 17% EDTA (pH 3, 7 and 10). Six teeth were used as bacterial control. The number of calcium, iron, manganese and zinc ions was determined using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Mean ± standard deviation (SD) values were used for descriptive statistics. Results Calcium chelation using 17% EDTA at pH 7 was higher than at pH 3 and 10, regardless of whether bacterial biofilm was present. The highest concentration of iron occurred at pH 3 in the presence of bacterial biofilm. The highest concentration of manganese found was 2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA at pH 7 in the presence of bacterial biofilm. Zinc levels were not detectable. Conclusions The pH of chelating agents affected the removal of calcium, iron, and manganese ions. The concentration of iron ions in root canals with bacterial biofilm was higher after the use of 17% EDTA at pH 3 than after the use of the other solutions at all pH levels.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This article reports for the first time the effects of multiple additives (polyethylene glycol 400, Triton X-100, benzalkonium chloride, and ethyl formate) on the surface tension, pH, and viscosity of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) irrigant solution. Advanced statistical approaches based on unsupervised multivariate analysis (cluster analysis and principal component analysis) were used to quantify the variability of the physicochemical properties of the modified NaOCl solution for the first time in dentistry. METHODS Solutions of 5.25% NaOCl were modified with multiple additives in various concentrations, physicochemical parameters were measured at 22°C and 37°C, and the results were statistically analyzed to group the solutions and reveal the effects of additives. RESULTS Cluster analysis and principal component analysis revealed that pH and surface tension were the significant parameters (P < .05) for grouping the modified solutions. Four principal components, accounting for 90.6% of the total variance, were associated with flow characteristics (37.3%) determined by polyethylene glycol; the wetting property (22.5% and 10.5%), which was dependent on cationic and nonionic surfactant; and the antimicrobial effect (20.3%) influenced by ethyl formate. Varimax rotation of the principal components showed that the cationic surfactant (benzalkonium chloride) had significantly decreased surface tension compared with the nonionic surfactant (Triton-X). Although ethyl formate was introduced as an odor modifier, it had a significant effect on pH decrease and the occurrence of effervescence with O2 and hypochlorous acid release. CONCLUSIONS The statistical results revealed that the 5.25% NaOCl irrigant solution should be modified with a mixture of 0.1% benzalkonium chloride, 1% ethyl formate, and 7% polyethylene glycol for obtaining a low pH and low surface tension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The tissue-dissolving and bactericidal activity of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) can be increased by warming the NaOCl solution without concurrently increasing its toxicity. The present study was set up to determine if and to what extent a heated liquid reaches the apical region. METHOD AND MATERIALS A temperature sensor was introduced from the apical aspect into a human canine 22 mm in length prepared to size 40.04. At 37°C in the incubator the canal was irrigated with water 10 times each at temperatures of 10°C, 21°C, 45°C, 60°C, and 37°C (control group). The apical temperature curve was recorded with a one-second resolution from the time the irrigation started until at least 2 minutes after its end. RESULTS None of the measurements yielded the same temperature in the apical region as that of the coronally introduced liquid. At 60°C, a maximum value of 52.2°C ± 1.39°C, and at 10°C, a minimum value of 16.09°C ± 0.39°C, was achieved apically. At 1 minute after the end of active rinse cycle, the temperature at the apical probe differed only 4.8°C to 0.9°C ± 1.41°C from the initial value (about 37°C). Only with the cold 10°C solution was the temperature difference higher, at 7.5°C ± 2.14°C. CONCLUSION The benefit of heating irrigants accrues primarily during the period of active rinsing; immediately after the end of the rinsing cycle, body temperature is reached again. A positive aspect to be noted is that an irrigant stored at room temperature is quickly warmed to 37°C in the root canal by the temperature of the body.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of the XP-endo Finisher (FKG Dentaire SA, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) file on debris and smear layer removal in curved root canals in comparison to different irrigation regimens. Seventy-five freshly extracted human mandibular molar teeth with mesial root curved more than 20° were used in this study. The mesial root canals were mechanically prepared using the BT-Race rotary system (FKG Dentaire) and divided into five groups (n = 15) according to the following irrigation techniques: positive control, non-agitated, File agitation, XP-endo Finisher, and EndoActivator (Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialities, Tulsa, OK, USA). Root canals were split longitudinally and evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. Five-grade scoring system was used to assess the presence of debris and smear layer at the coronal, middle, and apical regions. The XP-endo Finisher and EndoActivator groups revealed significantly lower debris and smear layer scores than the other groups at the coronal, middle, and apical regions (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between XP-endo Finisher and EndoActivator groups (P > 0.05). The apical region had higher debris and smear layer scores compared with the coronal regions in all groups (P < 0.05), except for the positive control group; there was no significant difference between the three regions of the root canal (P > 0.05). Irrigation of curved root canals using XP-endo Finisher and EndoActivator methods appears to be more effective on debris and smear layer removal than the other tested groups.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of different antioxidant treatments on the microtensile bond strength of an adhesive system to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)-treated dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty extracted third molars were sectioned 3 mm below the occlusal surface and divided into six groups according to the antioxidant treatment received: control group: distilled water; NaOCl group: 5.25% NaOCl and distilled water; proanthocyanidin (PA) group: 5.25% NaOCl, 5% PA and distilled water; 1-week storage group: 5.25% NaOCl and storage for 1 week in distilled water; Accel group: 5.25% NaOCl, Accel, and distilled water; noni group: 5.25% NaOCl, noni fruit juice, and distilled water. NaOCl, PA, Accel, noni, and distilled water were administered for 30 s, 10 min, 30 s, 10 min, and 30 s, respectively. A self-etching adhesive system (Single Bond Universal Adhesive) was applied to each specimen and a resin composite (Filtek Z550) was built up to a height of 5 mm on the dentin surface. Each specimen was serially sectioned to obtain sticks with a cross-sectional area of 1 mm2, and their microtensile bond strength was determined. Statistical differences between groups were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tamhane's T2 test. RESULTS Microtensile bond strength in the NaOCl group was significantly lower than in all other groups. However, there were no significant differences in the bond strength between the groups treated with different antioxidants. CONCLUSIONS NaOCl significantly reduced the microtensile bond strength of the adhesive system. The application of PA, Accel, and noni fruit juice to NaOCl-treated dentin significantly improved the microtensile bond strength.

Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVE To evaluated the tissue dissolution of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and peracetic acid (PA) solutions at different concentrations, with or without ultrasonic agitation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The following solutions were analyzed: 2.5% NaOCl, 0.5, 1 and 2% PA, 1% PA associated with 6.5% hydrogen peroxide (HP) and saline. Fragments of bovine pulp tissue with 25 ± 2g mg were immersed into test tubes containing 4 mL of the solutions for 10 minutes. In the groups with agitation, pulp tissues were submitted to 2 cycles of 1 minute of ultrasonic agitation. The specimens were weighed after the removal from the solutions. The percentage of mass loss was calculated according to the difference of mass before and after exposure to solutions. Data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey tests (p < 0.05). RESULTS A total of 2.5% NaOCl with or without agitation showed the higher tissue dissolution (between 64.5 and 67% of mass reduction) (p < 0.005). By comparing the PA solutions, the concentrations of 1 and 2% with or without agitation and the concentration of 0.5% with agitation showed similar dissolution activity (between 35.4 and 44% of mass reduction). The use of the ultrasonic agitation promoted an increase of the dissolution ability only for 0.5% PA. CONCLUSION Peracetic acid solution has pulp tissue dissolution. However, this ability is lower than 2.5% NaOCl solution. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The sodium hypochlorite solution shows higher ability to dissolve tissue than PA.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of two final irrigation techniques for the removal of precipitate formed by the interaction between sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and chlorhexidine (CHX). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty freshly extracted human maxillary incisor teeth were taken and randomly divided into three groups, containing 20 teeth each. Group 1 (control group), were irrigated with 5 ml of 2.5% NaOCl and a final flush with 5 ml of 2% chlorhexidine. Group 2 were irrigated with 5 ml of 2.5% NaOCl and 5 ml of 2% chlorhexidine followed by 5 ml of saline and agitated with F-files. Group 3 were irrigated with 5 ml of 2.5% NaOCl and 5 ml of 2% chlorhexidine followed by 5 ml of 15% citric acid and passively agitated with ultrasonics. A thin longitudinal groove was made along the buccal and lingual aspect of the root using diamond disks and split with chisel and mallet. Both halves of the split tooth will be examined under stereomicroscope. Results were tabulated and analyzed statistically using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Mann-Whitney U test. RESULT There was a significant difference between the mean values (p < 0.05) in groups 2 and 3 compared to group 1 at each level. CONCLUSION Passive ultrasonic irrigation is more effective than the F-file agitation technique to remove the precipitate at all three levels measured. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Combination of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine irrigation protocol has been practiced since from many years to achieve good results. However, it has adverse effect in the form of precipitate and which is considered to be a carcinogenic in nature, hence this precipitate should be removed.

Abstract
The antibacterial activity of β-lactam derived polycyclic fused pyrrolidine/pyrrolizidine derivatives synthesized by 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction was evaluated against microbes involved in dental infection. Fifteen compounds were screened; among them compound 3 showed efficient antibacterial activity in an ex vivo dentinal tubule model and in vivo mice infectious model. In silico docking studies showed greater affinity to penicillin binding protein. Cell damage was observed under Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) which was further proved by Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) and quantified using Flow Cytometry by PI up-take. Compound 3 treated E. faecalis showed ROS generation and loss of membrane integrity was quantified by flow cytometry. Compound 3 was also found to be active against resistant E. faecalis strains isolated from failed root canal treatment cases. Further, compound 3 was found to be hemocompatible, not cytotoxic to normal mammalian NIH 3T3 cells and non mutagenic. It was concluded that β-lactam compound 3 exhibited promising antibacterial activity against E. faecalis involved in root canal infections and the mechanism of action was deciphered. The results of this research can be further implicated in the development of potent antibacterial medicaments with applications in dentistry.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine and ethanol application on the push-out bond strength and bond durability of fiber posts cemented with an etch-and-rinse adhesive system/resin cement to intraradicular dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-four bovine roots were shaped for the cementation of a fiberglass post and received the application of 37% phosphoric acid. They were then randomly divided into three groups, according to the type of dentin treatment (n = 18) performed: no treatment (control group), 100% ethanol, or 2% chlorhexidine. Next, the adhesive system (Adper Scotch Bond Multipurpose Plus, 3M ESPE) was applied to the dentin, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Glass fiber posts were cemented with dual resin cement (Rely X ARC, 3M ESPE). After 48 hours, the specimens were serially sectioned for push-out test analysis, providing two slices from each root third (cervical, medium and apical), one of which was tested immediately and the other stored in distilled water for 180 days. The data were analyzed with three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures and Tukey's test at a 5% significance level. RESULTS Intraradicular treatment with chlorhexidine yielded the highest bond strength means, followed by ethanol treatment. The control group presented the lowest bond strength means. Water storage exerted no effect on bond strength values. CONCLUSION Both chlorhexidine and ethanol improved push-out bond strength to intraradicular dentin, with the former providing the best results, regardless of the storage time. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The application of 2% chlorhexidine or 100% ethanol may be an important step that can be taken to enhance bond strength of fiber posts to intraradicular dentin, when dual resin cements are used.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of photon-initiated photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) with various irrigating solutions on the bond strength of a self-adhesive resin cement to root dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-two mandibular premolar roots were divided into six groups after post space preparation and treated with a needle irrigation with distilled water and NaOCl, ultrasonic irrigation with NaOCl, PIPS with NaOCl, PIPS with EDTA and PIPS with distilled water at 0.3 W, 15 Hz and 20 mJ per pulse for 60 s. Fiber posts were cemented with a newly marketed, self-adhesive resin cement. The data obtained from the push-out tests were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and LSD post-hoc tests (p = 0.05). RESULTS PIPS with distilled water resulted in higher push-out values than those of needle (with both distilled water and NaOCl) and ultrasonic irrigation (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The use of PIPS may provide higher bond strength of self-adhesive resin cement to root dentin than needle and ultrasonic irrigation techniques.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of calcium hydroxide dressing on the filling of simulated lateral canals by different obturation techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty single-root-premolars were instrumented. Simulated lateral canals were drilled on each third of the roots. The teeth were divided into four groups: no dressing and obturation by lateral condensation technique (G1), dressing with calcium hydroxide and obturation by lateral condensation technique (G2), no dressing and obturation by hybrid technique (G3) and, dressing with calcium hydroxide and obturation by hybrid technique (G4). The teeth were maintained at 37°C in 100% humidity for 7 days, and obturation techniques were performed. Radiographs were taken and filled or unfilled lateral canals were counted. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's test (a = 5%). RESULTS The hybrid technique filled large number of lateral canals as compared to lateral condensation technique, regardless the use of intracanal medication (p < 0.05). Calcium hydroxide decreased the number of lateral canals filled for both lateral and hybrid techniques (p < 0.05). Significant differences were observed when comparing the number of filled and unfilled lateral canals in the same root third of each group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Regardless the obturation technique, calcium hydroxide dressing reduced the penetration of filling material in simulated lateral canals. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The persistence of calcium hydroxide residues reduces the penetration of filling material in simulated lateral canals, possibly representing a potential cause of failure in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of calcium hydroxide, double antibiotic paste (DAP) and triple antibiotic paste (TAP) with minocycline, cefaclor and amoxicillin on the micro tensile bond strength (µTBS) of self-etch adhesive to pulp chamber dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty mandibular first molars were cut horizontally and randomly divided into a control group and five experimental groups, which received an intra-canal dressing, as follows: calcium hydroxide, DAP, TAP with minocycline, TAP with cefaclor and TAP with amoxicillin. After storing the specimens for 4 weeks, the medicaments were removed by irrigation with 10 mL each of the following solution: 2.5% NaOCl, 17% EDTA and distilled water. A self-etch adhesive (Clearfil S3 Bond, Okayama, Japan) was applied and composite resin (Clearfil Majesty Posterior, Kuraray Medical Inc., Japan) was placed into the cavity. A µTBS test was performed on each specimen using a universal test machine. RESULTS The DAP reduced the µTBS of self-etch adhesive compared to the control group, calcium hydroxide and TAP with minocycline and with cefaclor (p < 0.05). However, the other medicaments did not result in a decreased µTBS of self-etch adhesive to pulp chamber dentin as compared to the control group (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The use of DAP resulted in a reduced µTBS of self-etch adhesive to pulp chamber dentin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of residual calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] on the accuracy of an electronic apex locator (EAL). MATERIALS AND METHODS Working lengths (WLs) of 56 extracted maxillary incisors were determined initially by two different methods. The first method used the 'APEX' reading of the EAL as a reference point, 0.5 mm was subtracted and recorded as WL0. The second method used the '0.5' reading and the score was recorded as WL0.5 without subtraction. The roots were prepared to WL0 and divided randomly into three experimental groups (n = 16) (1 mm in group A, 2 mm in group B and 4 mm in group C) and a control (n = 8). Specimens in all experimental groups were filled with Ca(OH)2 paste. Following its removal, WLs were re-determined with the same methods. RESULTS In group C, pre/post WLs were significantly different (p < 0.05). No significant difference was observed between the other experimental groups and the control group. CONCLUSION Accuracy of EAL decreased proportionally with the amount of paste remaining at the ±0.5-mm tolerance level. Ca(OH)2 paste remnants may cause incorrect EAL readings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of various irrigating solutions and photoactivated disinfection (PAD) on the push-out bond strengths of fiber posts to root dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-two human teeth were divided into eight groups, as follows: (1) irrigation with physiologic saline (control), (2) NaOCl irrigation, (3) chlorhexidine (CHX) irrigation, (4) ethanol (EtOH) irrigation, (5) NaOCl followed by 17% EDTA irrigation, (6) NaOCl-EDTA supplemented with CHX irrigation, (7) NaOCl-EDTA supplemented with EtOH irrigation and (8) NaOCl-EDTA irrigation supplemented with PAD. After the posts were cemented, the roots were transversally sectioned to obtain four slices (1 mm thick) (n = 16). Push-out tests were conducted by applying a load at 0.5 mm/min, types of fracture failures were recorded and data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc tests (p = 0.05). RESULTS Push-out bond strength was significantly affected by the type of irrigating solution and the disinfection protocol (p < 0.05). The bond strength of the EtOH, NaOCl and NaOCl-EDTA-CHX irrigated groups was significantly higher than that of the other groups. The highest bond strength was observed in the EtOH irrigated group and the lowest was the NaOCl-EDTA irrigated group. CONCLUSIONS Irrigation with NaOCl and EDTA combined caused lower bond strength than observed in the control group. However, supplementing this combination with CHX improved the post-dentin bond strengths; supplementing with PAD did not.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In 1890, Breuer applied an electrical field concept to root canals in an attempt at sterilization. Recently, Balson and Dovgan have renewed interest in the use of electricity to aid in canal disinfection. The purpose of this investigation is to determine if the use of the apex locator or apex locator in conjunction with low speed handpiece causes a previously unreported electrophoretic effect. MATERIALS Forty low-fat, dried sirloin steak cubes separated into four groups of 10 and immersed in 5.25% sodium hypochlorite for two minutes while connected to 1) an apex locator with no batteries, 2) one with batteries, or an apex locator and low speed handpiece set at either 3) zero or 4) 800 rotations per minute. Samples were dried and percentage of weight loss was calculated. ANOVA and Tukey Multicomparison tests were performed for statistical significance of α ≤ 0.05. RESULTS ANOVA test and Tukey Multicomparison tests showed that there was a significant difference (α ≤ 0.05) between the groups. They revealed statistically significant differences between 800 rotations per minute and all other groups. This study showed that there were no significant differences between an apex locator with no batteries, one used with batteries and one used in conjunction with the low speed handpiece at zero rotations per minute. However, it was shown that there was significantly more tissue dissolution with an apex locator with low speed handpiece at 800 rotations per minute compared to the first three groups. CONCLUSION These results did not support the original hypothesis that the apex locator with or without the low speed handpiece has an electrophoretic effect. However, the results do support the use of sodium hypochlorite agitation for increased tissue dissolution.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the effects of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and maleic acid (MA) on the sealing ability of various root canal sealers. Eighty root canals were instrumented and irrigated with either EDTA or MA. They were divided into eight experimental groups and obturated as follows: Group 1: MA + Hybrid Root SEAL/gutta-percha. Group 2: EDTA + Hybrid Root SEAL/gutta-percha. Group 3: MA + iRoot SP/gutta-percha. Group 4: EDTA + iRoot SP/gutta-percha. Group 5: MA + EndoREZ/EndoREZ points. Group 6: EDTA + EndoREZ/EndoREZ points. Group 7: MA + AH Plus/gutta-percha. Group 8: EDTA + AH Plus/gutta-percha. Another ten roots were used as negative and positive controls. The microleakage of each sample was measured at 2-min intervals for 8 min using the fluid filtration method. Data were statistically analyzed with one-way ANOVA, post-hoc Tukey, and paired-samples t tests. The minimum microleakage values were obtained from the teeth obturated with AH Plus and EndoREZ selaers (p < 0.001). The samples with Hybrid Root SEAL showed the maximum leakage (p < 0.001). There were significant differences between the groups irrigated with MA or EDTA in terms of microleakage (p < 0.05). Use of MA resulted in higher microleakage values compared with those using EDTA. The type of final irrigation solution seems to influence the postobturation apical seal. Use of AH Plus and EndoREZ sealers showed better sealing ability compared with IRoot SP and Hybrid Root SEAL.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of QMix and other conventional endodontic irrigants on the micropush-out bond strength of Biodentine (BD) and white mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred eighty midroot dentin slices with a thickness of 1.0 mm were prepared. BD and WMTA were placed inside the lumens of the root slices (n = 90). Then the specimens of each material were divided into 6 groups (n = 15) according to irrigation solution (saline, 5.25% NaOCl, 2% CHX, 17% EDTA, or QMix) immersed in the same for 30 min. For the control group, a wet cotton pellet was placed over the specimen. After that, the micropush-out bond strength was determined using a universal testing machine, and the bond failure mode was determined using a stereomicroscope. The morphological microstructures of specimens were evaluated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test. RESULTS BD revealed higher bond strength than WMTA (p < 0.05). WMTA was significantly affected after exposure to 2% CHX solution. QMix irrigant did not compromise the bond strength of BD or WMTA. Most failures for BD were cohesive, while for WMTA, adhesive failures were the predominant type. A substantial change in the microstructure of BD and WMTA occurred after exposure to different irrigation solutions. CONCLUSIONS QMix did not affect the bond strength of BD or WMTA. BD showed higher resistance than WMTA to dislodgement forces from root dentin.

Abstract
Aim of this study was to assess the influence of chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) application on bond strength of glass fibre reinforced composite (FRC) posts to root dentine using adhesive luting systems. Forty extracted human mandibular premolars were endodontically treated and root canals were prepared. Teeth were divided into 2 groups according to luting system as SuperBond C&B (etch-and-rinse/chemical cure) and FuturaBond DC (self-etch/ dual cure). Each group was further divided in 2 subgroups (n=10) according to whether CHX was applied or not. Group Futura/CHX: FuturaBond DC + CHX; group Futura: FuturaBond DC; group Super/CHX: Super Bond C&B + CHX; group Super: SuperBond C&B + CHX. Mean and standard deviation (in parenthesis) values of bond strength in MPa were: group Futura/CHX: 8.86 (1.96), group Futura: 7.65 (1.01), group Super/CHX: 17.47(2.93), group Super: 12.41 (3.83). Bond strength values were affected by the type of luting agent and CHX irrigation (p=0.001, two-way ANOVA). There were statistically significant differences among the groups according to one-way ANOVA (p<0.001). Significant differences were observed in bond strength between groups Super/CHX and Super (p=0.023), between groups Futura/CHX and Super/CHX (p<0.001). Application of CHX before luting procedure with etch-and-rinse/chemical cure luting agent of glass FRC post improved long-term bond strength between glass FRC and root dentine.

Abstract
PURPOSE Post and core systems are commonly used to restore endodontically treated teeth. A durable bond between fiber posts and dentin contributes to the success of the restorative treatment. Different irrigants are used during post space preparation and various studies have investigated the effects of these chemical agents on bond strength and dentin morphology. METHODS The MEDLINE-PubMed, Cochrane, and SCOPUS databases were searched for appropriate papers addressing the effects of irrigants on bonding of fiber posts to dentin and on dentin morphology. Databases were searched from 2002 through 2012. The search was performed using a variety of keywords including fiber posts, bond strength, post space preparation, post space irrigation, and smear layer removal. RESULTS Using multiple key words and different strategies, 68 publications were initially screened. The abstracts of these 68 publications were scanned for relevance, and 50 full-text articles were selected and read in detail. Thirty publications which discussed the effect of various intracanal irrigants on bond strengths of fiber posts and dentin morphology were incorporated in this review. Following review of all relevant papers, it can be concluded that bond strengths of fiber posts to radicular dentin can be affected by the irrigants used and that various irrigants affect different types of resin cements differently.

Abstract
The bond strength of ActiV GP and gutta-percha/AH Plus after using 2% CHX as final rinse was evaluated in this study. According to the final irrigation regimen forty roots were divided into two groups (n = 20) randomly: Group 1-5 ml of 17% EDTA; Group 2-5 ml of 17% EDTA followed by 5 ml of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX). Based on the obturation system the two groups were further subdivided into two subgroups (n = 10). The roots were horizontally sectioned from the coronal and midthird sections for measuring the push-out bond strength. CHX/AH Plus (2.795 ± 0.42 MPa) and EDTA/ActiV GP (1.489 ± 0.117 MPa) recorded the highest and lowest mean bond strength values respectively. It was concluded that when 2% CHX was used as a final irrigation rinse the bond strength of both gutta-percha/AH Plus and ActiV GP obturation system improved significantly.

Abstract
Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 7% maleic acid and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on the shear bond strength of RealSeal SE sealer to root canal dentin. Twenty incisors were split into coronal, middle and apical third and were treated in the following manner: Group 1: 5 ml of saline (1 minute). Group 2: 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (5 ml/min) followed by 79% maleic acid (5 ml/min). Group 3: 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (5 ml/min) followed by 17% EDTA (5 ml/min). Sealer was the placed on the root dentin and samples were subjected to bond strength measurement. There was no significant difference in bond strength between maleic acid and 17% EDTA in coronal & middle third. However, in apical third, 7% maleic acid showed higher bond strength. Least bond strength was observed with saline. Bond strength was maximum in apical third for both 7% maleic acid and 17% EDTA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of pretreatment with 2% chlorhexidine in a gel base (CHX) and 100% ethanol (EtOH) on the bond strength between fiber posts relined with resin composite and root dentin under cyclic loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty bovine incisor roots were divided into four groups after phosphoric acid etching: group 1 (control), irrigation with physiological saline solution; group 2, 5 min pretreatment with CHX; group 3, 1 min pretreatment with EtOH; group 4, 5 min pretreatment with CHX followed by 1 min with EtOH. Fiber posts relined with resin composite were cemented with RelyX ARC and the etch-and-rinse adhesive system Scotchbond Multi-Purpose. Each group was randomly divided into two subgroups: 24 h of storage (immediate groups) and cyclic loading (loading groups) with 250,000 cycles in a controlled chewing simulator. All roots were sectioned transversely and push-out tests were performed. Failure modes were observed and the bond strength means were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's test (a = 0.05). RESULTS The mean values for the bond strength test (MPa) in immediate groups were: group 1, 5.44 ± 1.48; group 2, 5.57 ± 1.41; group 3, 5.49 ± 1.48; group 4, 5.57 ± 1.42. Immediate groups showed similar bond strength values (p > 0.05). In the cyclic loading groups, the bond strength values were: group 1, 2.80 ± 0.79; group 2, 4.02 (1.30); group 3, 4.50 ± 1.67; group 4, 4.97 ± 2.00. After cyclic loading, a significant decrease in the control group was observed (p < 0.05), while CHX pretreatment resulted in intermediate values (p < 0.05) and EtOH alone or associated with CHX preserved the bond strength values (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Chlorhexidine and/or ethanol pretreatment preserved the bond strength of the fiber post after cyclic loading.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal effects of light-activated disinfection (LAD) in comparison with contemporary root canal irrigation solutions: sodium hypochlorite and 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and a new wound antiseptic, octenidine hydrochloride. Seventy extracted teeth having single root canals were contaminated with Candida albicans for 14 days. The samples were divided into five experimental (n = 10) and two control (positive and negative) groups (n = 10): (1) LAD with toluidine blue O, (2) octenidine hydrochloride (OCT), (3) 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (2.5% NaOCl), (4) 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (5.25% NaOCl) and (5) 2% chlorhexidine. Five millilitres of each test solution was applied for 3 min, and irradiation time used for LAD was 30 s. After treatment, the dentin chips were collected from inner canal walls into vials containing phosphate buffered saline, vortexed, serially diluted, seeded on Tryptic Soy Agar plates and incubated (37 °C, 48 h). The number of colony-forming units was then counted. Differences between LAD group and positive control group were statistically significant (P < 0.05). All Candida cells were totally eliminated in root canals irrigated with OCT, 2.5% NaOCl, 5.25% NaOCl and 2% chlorhexidine groups (CFU = 0). Within the limitations of this ex vivo study, LAD had minimal antimicrobial effect on C. albicans when used 30 s, and further modifications in LAD protocol are required to improve its antifungal capability. A new wound antiseptic, octenidine hydrochloride, demonstrated better potential than LAD in elimination of Candida albicans cells and may be a promising alternative to NaOCl and chlorhexidine solutions in future.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the chemical interaction of calcium hydroxide with the antibiotics demeclocycline calcium in Ledermix Paste and clindamycin hydrochloride in Odontopaste. METHODOLOGY Validated methods were developed to analyse the interaction of calcium hydroxide in two forms, Pulpdent and calcium hydroxide powder, with the two antibiotics. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to analyse the mixed samples of the pastes and calcium hydroxide. The concentration of demeclocycline calcium over 0-, 1-, 18-, 24-, 72-h and 7-day time-points was determined. The concentration of clindamycin hydrochloride over 1-, 6-, 24-, 72-h and 7-day time-points was determined. All tests with HPLC involved testing of the standard in duplicate alongside the samples. Linearity, precision and specificity of the testing procedures and apparatus were validated. Descriptive statistics are provided. RESULTS The antibiotics in both Odontopaste and Ledermix Paste were affected by the addition of calcium hydroxide. When mixed with calcium hydroxide powder, Odontopaste had a 2% loss of clindamycin hydrochloride over 7 days, but when mixed with Pulpdent, there was a 36% loss over 7 days. Ledermix Paste showed an 80% loss of demeclocycline calcium over 7 days when mixed with calcium hydroxide powder and a 19% loss when mixed with Pulpdent over the 7-day period. CONCLUSION The addition of calcium hydroxide to Odontopaste or Ledermix Paste results in reductions of the respective antibiotic over a 7-day time period.

Abstract
AIM Compare the efficiency in removing two calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] preparations from root canal and apical third using single use syringe, ultrasonics and RinsEndo((®)) with saline solution. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and eighty human singlerooted teeth were instrumented using ProTaper((®)) rotary system, divided into two groups according to Ca(OH)2 filling. A: Powder mixed with water, B: Pulpdent((®)). Each group was divided into three subgroups for the irrigation: A1, B1: Single use syringe; A2, B2: Ultrasonics; A3, B3: RinsEndo((®)). Teeth were split longitudinally, photographed and imported into Adobe Photoshop. The percentage ratios of Ca(OH)2 remaining in the canal and in the apical third were calculated. Data were statistically analyzed using 'ANOVA two-way' and 'univariate tests'. RESULTS (a) Remnants of medicament were found in all teeth, (b) no statistically significant difference in the elimination of both Ca(OH)2 from the entire canal (p = 0.436), however, mixed powder was better eliminated from the apical third (p = 0.005), (c) no statistically significant difference among the irrigation techniques in the whole canal (p = 0.608), though, RinsEndo((®)) and ultrasonics were the most effective in cleaning the apical third (p = 0.032) when mixed powder was used. CONCLUSION None of the techniques removed completely Ca(OH)2 from the canal. In the apical third, RinsEndo((®)) and ultrasonics were the most effective when mixed powder was used. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Ca(OH)2, the most commonly used intracanal dressing, should be completely eliminated before the obturation to assure a good endodontic sealing. Based on the results of this study, RinsEndo((®)) and ultrasonics were the most effective in removal of Ca(OH)2 especially the powder mixed with water presentation.

Abstract
Calcium hydroxide is used as an intracanal medication for root canal disinfection and to enhance periapical lesion healing. However, calcium hydroxide remnants can negatively affect the final apical seal of obturated canals. The current study investigated apical leakage in root canals filled with Resilon after calcium hydroxide treatment. Seventy human maxillary central incisors were instrumented to a master apical file size of 40. Teeth were randomly divided into two experimental groups (A and B; n = 30) and two control groups (n = 5). Root canals in group A received a calcium hydroxide dressing, while those in group B received no intracanal medication. One week after treatment, all root canals were obturated with Resilon/Epiphany using lateral compaction. Groups A and B were randomly divided into subgroups A1, A2, B1, and B2 (n = 15). All subgroups were stored in an incubator at 37 degrees C and 100% humidity; subgroups A1 and B1 were stored for one week, while subgroups A2 and B2 were stored for eight weeks. Dye penetration and clearing techniques were used to evaluate apical leakage. Data were analyzed using a Student t-test, with significance set at P < 0.05. Observed apical leakage was significantly higher in subgroup A1 than in subgroups A2 and B1 and in subgroup A2 than in subgroup B2; no statistically significant difference was found between subgroups B1 and B2. When used as an intracanal medication, calcium hydroxide increases the apical leakage of root canals filled with Resilon/Epiphany.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the chemical interaction of calcium hydroxide with the corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide in Ledermix Paste and in Odontopaste, a new steroid/antibiotic paste. METHODOLOGY Validated methods were developed to analyse the interaction of calcium hydroxide in two forms, Pulpdent Paste and calcium hydroxide powder, with triamcinolone acetonide within Odontopaste and Ledermix Paste. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to analyse the mixed samples of the pastes and calcium hydroxide. The concentration of triamcinolone acetonide within the pastes was determined over 0, 2, 6, 24 and 72-h time-points. All tests with the HPLC involved the testing of the standard with triplicate injections alongside the samples. All samples were tested in duplicate with each injected twice; therefore, four tests were performed for each investigation. Linearity, precision and specificity of the testing procedures and apparatus were validated. Descriptive statistics are provided. RESULTS In both pastes, there was a marked rapid destruction of the triamcinolone acetonide steroid upon mixing with calcium hydroxide. Odontopaste suffered a lower rate of destruction of the triamcinolone acetonide component than Ledermix Paste, but both pastes showed very similar degrees of steroid destruction after 72 h. When using calcium hydroxide powder with Ledermix Paste, the triamcinolone was destroyed entirely and immediately. CONCLUSION The addition of calcium hydroxide to Odontopaste or Ledermix Paste results in the rapid destruction of the steroid.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the interference of the intracanal medication Calen® (SSWhite, Sao Paulo, Brazil) on the filling of simulated lateral canals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty human anterior teeth were used. Before the endodontic filling procedures the access of cavity was made, and after this root canals were made in all the teeth to simulate the presence of lateral canals. After preparation, the teeth were randomly divided into two groups (n=10). In group I, the root canal system was filled directly after chemicalmechanical preparation; in group II, endodontic treatment was performed in multiple sessions, and after preparation the calcium hydroxide-based intracanal medication Calen® was inserted. After the period of 7 days, the root canals were vigorously irrigated and then they were filled. Next, the teeth were radiographed to verify the quality of the filling. RESULTS The results demonstrated that the teeth treated in a single session, without calcium hydroxide medication, presented 47 canals out of 60 with radiographic evidence of filling, whereas the teeth in which intracanal medication was used, only 07 presented a radiographic image compatible with filling (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The use of the calcium hydroxide-based medication Calen made it difficult to obtain a hermetic filling of the root canal system. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The clinical significance of this work basing on the fact that once the dentist knowing that property obliteration of calcium hydroxide can be taken care when they are used in the presence of lateral canals.

Abstract
This in vitro study compare cleanliness of tooth canal walls regarding smear layer after final treatment with 24% ethylenediaminetetraaceticacid (EDTA) and 3% EDTA with or without surfactant. Sixty extracted teeth, randomly distributed into four groups, were prepared using ProFile instruments (DENTSPLY, Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), and subjected to different final irrigation solutions: group A, 24% EDTA; group B, 3% EDTA with surfactant; group C (positive control), 3% EDTA; and group D (negative control), 0.5% sodium hypochlorite. Roots were sectioned, examined and evaluated under scanning electron microscope; microphotographs were taken for the coronal, middle and apical third of each specimen. Statistical analysis showed no difference regarding presence of smear layer between test groups in the coronal and apical sections. They were cleaned in the coronal sections and uncleaned in the apical sections. In the middle section, group B was significantly cleaner (p < 0.05) than the other groups. In conclusion, surfactant in combination with EDTA did not improve root canal cleanliness and there is no difference between different EDTA concentrations in removing the smear layer.

Abstract
The use of an irrigant during root canal therapy is an important factor in the cleaning and disinfecting of the root canal system. While sodium hypochlorite has been used for decades as a primary irrigant, other irrigants have been investigated as alternatives. This article reviews chlorhexidine as a canal irrigant, explores its different properties, and provides the dental practitioner with information to help make a more informed decision when choosing an irrigant.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to compare the patient's postoperative discomfort when root canal irrigation was performed either with standard sodium hypochlorite or with sodium hypochlorite with the adjunct of a proteolytic enzyme. METHODS Two hundred patients were endodontically treated in two clinics. The type of irrigant to be used during root canal instrumentation was randomly assigned. Final irrigation was done using EDTA 17%. The canals were filled by warm vertical condensation with guttha-percha and the coronal seal was made using IRM. Patients were given a questionnaire to assess pain and swelling and the number of analgesics and other drugs taken during the first week after treatment. RESULTS A total of 166 questionnaires could have been evaluated. No significant difference was found between groups for pain, swelling and analgesics taken. Moderate pain and swelling was reported only in the first two days after treatment. No antibiotics use was reported. No guttha-percha excess beyond root apex was found by radiographic assessment. CONCLUSIONS The irrigating solution containing a proteolytic enzyme does not produce greater postoperative discomfort as compared to the conventional sodium hypochlorite in patients undergoing endodontic therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of endodontic irrigation regimens and calcium hydroxide root canal sealer (Sealapex) on the microtensile bond strengths (muTBS) of dual-curing resin composite (Clearfil DC Core Automix) to the intrapulpal dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty standardized coronal-half root canal dentin specimens obtained from human premolars were divided into 4 groups: group A, no treatment (control); group B, Sealapex; group C, NaOCl/Sealapex; group D, EDTA/NaOCl/Sealapex. After 7 days of storage in 100% relative humidity, Sealapex was removed. Dentin surfaces were bonded with adhesives, either etch-and-rinse (Single Bond) or self-etching (Clearfil SE Bond), and built up with resin composite. The bonded specimens were trimmed into an hourglass shape with a 1-mm2 cross-sectional area for microtensile testing (n = 20). The muTBS to intrapulpal dentin was analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Dunnett's TC test. Two teeth of each group were prepared for micromorphological analysis of dentin surface. RESULTS The root canal sealer with or without endodontic irrigation significantly affected the bond strengths of resin composite to intrapulpal dentin compared with the control group (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in muTBS of each experimental group between etch-and-rinse and self-etching adhesives (p > 0.05). The dentin surface was covered with a mud-like material after sealer application for 7 days. CONCLUSION The root canal sealer reduced the muTBS of dual-curing resin composite with etch-and-rinse and self-etching adhesive systems to intrapulpal dentin. Treatment with EDTA followed by NaOCI prior to obturation caused an additional reduction in muTBS of both adhesive systems to intrapulpal dentin.

Abstract
Amongst the bacterial species which most often cause endodontic failures, Enterococcus faecalis is the most important. This study compared the effectiveness of sodium hypochlorite and two new generation antibiotic-based endodontic irrigants, Tetraclean and MTAD. By means of an in vitro agar dilution assay, we show that both Tetraclean and MTAD are 100% effective against 54 clinical isolates at dilutions up to 1:256 and 1:1048, respectively, whereas sodium hypochlorite completely loses its effectiveness when diluted more than 32 times. The bactericidal effect of both Tetraclean and MTAD can be ascribed not just to their antibiotic component per se, but also to a synergistic effect among the several ingredients included in the formulations. Moreover, by an ex vivo model of teeth extracted and experimentally infected with E. faecalis ATCC 29212, we show that both the antibiotic-based endodontic irrigants are effective in eliminating bacterial cells in 93 to 100% of the test samples. The results of these pre-clinical studies strongly support a wider use of this new group of endodontic irrigants in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of SmearClear and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for removal of the smear layer from the root canals of primary teeth after instrumentation. METHODS Thirty extracted, single-rooted, primary incisors and canines were instrumented and randomly assigned to the 3 groups (N=10): group 1=14% EDTA; group 2=SmearClear; and group 3=no smear layer removal procedure (control). The specimens were submitted to standard processing for scanning electron microscopic analysis to evaluate cleaning according to a 3-point scoring system that indicated best to worst cleaning. Data were analyzed statistically by the Mann-Whitney U test at a 5% significance level. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference (P>.05) between groups 1 (EDTA) and 2 (SmearClear). CONCLUSION SmearClear was able to remove the smear layer from the root canals of primary teeth as effectively as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, suggesting that both solutions may be indicated for such purpose.
