Summary. This study compared syringe irrigation with endosonic‐facilitated irrigation. Two experiments, conducted on acrylic models and extracted natural human teeth, tested both the degree of apical penetration and the flushing potential of irrigant in canals prepared to different sizes. Radio‐opaque dyes of different viscosities were used to monitor radiographically irrigant delivery or dye removal. Results indicated that endosanics was significantly superior to syringe irrigation alone, particularly in canals prepared apically to a diameter of 0.3 mm or less without coronal flaring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
