INTRODUCTION: Although long-term functional survival rates can be high for initial
endodontically treated permanent teeth, they are generally more susceptible to fracture than …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to carry out a review on the effect of sodium
hypochlorite (NaOCl) on the mechanical properties of root dentine. DATA/SOURCES: The …

INTRODUCTION: The greatest reduction in microhardness of the most superficial layer of
dentin of the root canal lumen is desired. The use of chelating agents during biomechanical …

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on root fracture with respect to various …

Introduction The aim of this study was to identify through a scoping review whether root
canal irrigants influence the mechanical properties of endodontically treated teeth, and …

The combination of chlorhexidine and EDTA produces a white precipitate. The aim of this
study was to determine if the precipitate involves the chemical degradation of chlorhexidine …

Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the effects of root canal irrigants on the
microhardness of root canal dentin in the presence and absence of surface-modifying …

This study aimed to compare the effects of different irrigants on root dentine microhardness,
erosion and smear layer removal. A total of 72 root dentine slices were divided into six …

The effect of solutions of 0.2% chitosan, 15% EDTA and 10% citric acid on the
microhardness of root dentin was evaluated comparatively in this study. Thirteen sound …

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the effects of different NaOCl concentrations and contact
times on removal of the organic phase from mineralized dentin with and without the …
