Chemome chanical debridement is accompanied by three-dimensional obturation of the root canal system in endodontic therapy. Endodontic irrigation requires sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as it dissolves organic matter and disinfects the root canal. The smear layer is removed by chelating agents. Since neither NaOCl nor the chelator ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) fulfills the entire core function required for an ideal irrigating solution, both are concurrently used. As a result, continuous chelation was introduced. When a chelator is coupled with NaOCl, it has antibacterial and proteolytic properties and even the capacity to eliminate the smear layer. It is not only easier than traditional irrigation, but it also improves antimicrobial effectiveness, removal of dentinal debris, and bonding of root filling materials to dentin.
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.
