Chemical debridement is considered one of the most important steps during root canal
treatment to target unreached areas and provide thorough disinfection of the canals. The …

Background: The effectiveness of endodontic retreatment essentially depends on the
cleaning and/or disinfection processes. In this context, the removal of root canal filling …

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 …

This study, in which a hundred human teeth with single straight canal were used, focused on
the evaluation of contrast solution penetration ability into the simulated lateral canals …

Aims: The aim of the present in vitro study was to compare the effectiveness of passive
ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), sonic irrigation, and mechanic dynamic activation on the removal …

Aim The lipopolysaccharides‐dentine‐infection (LPS‐dentine‐infection) models and
sampling techniques frequently used to evaluate LPS disinfection have limitations. In this …

This in vitro study evaluated the bacterial reduction provided by the EndoActivator (EA),
Easy Clean (EC), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), and XP-Endo Finisher. Eight-four …

We assessed the effect of different compositions and concentrations of two etidronate-
containing irrigants on the antibacterial activity of sodium hypochlorite (SH) against …

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the cleaning efficacy of irrigant activation with a new
ultrasonic tip in root-end preparations and to determine its influence on the bond strength of …

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of different irrigation techniques including standard
needle irrigation (SNI), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), EndoActivator (EA), XP‐Endo …
