Background Ultrasonically-activated irrigation (UAI) is effective in root canal irrigation but
may damage canal walls. EDDY is a sonic activation system with flexible working tips that …

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two sodium hypochlorite concentrations at
different exposure times and temperatures against Enterococcus faecalis biofilms of varying …

Background and Objectives: Successful root canal treatment depends on the thorough
removal of biofilms through chemomechanical preparation. This study aimed to investigate …

The continuous destruction of dental hard tissues increases the risk of bacterial invasion,
which leads to pulp infections. Irrigation is critical for successful root canal treatment in terms …

Background Multispecies biofilms located in the anatomical intricacies of the root canal
system remain the greatest challenge in root canal disinfection. The efficacy of Er: YAG laser …

Objective To evaluate the bacteria debridement efficacy of two generations of sonic root
canal irrigant activation systems: EndoActivator (Dentsply Sirona), the first generation, and …

Introduction In endodontic treatment, it is important to remove or inactivate biofilms in the
root canal system. We investigated the effects of different concentrations and application …

Photon-initiated photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) with an Er: YAG laser has been introduced
in root canal treatment to improve irrigation and facilitate the removal of bacteria in the root …

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the antibiofilm effect of calcium hydroxide (CH),
0.5% iodine potassium iodide (IKI), and 0.5% cetrimide (CTR), alone and in combinations on …

Dilaceration is a developmental anomaly characterized by a sharp change in the axial
inclination between the crown and the root of a tooth. Severe root curvature in a dilacerated …
