“…On the other hand, EDTA 17% at pH 7.4 shows to be effective at 15 min over pulpal calcifications. EDTA solutions, made in different concentrations are considered to be the slowest, but the most reliable demineralizers, due to their neutral pH, the etching and erosive potential are thought to be minimal (Mankeliya et al, 2021; Muana et al, 2021; Petrović et al, 2015; Spencer et al, 2001).…”

The ectopic calcifications of non-mineralized tissues can occur in several forms throughout life, such as pulpal calcification. The presence of pulp stones is a challenge in endodontic treatment because they partially or fully obliterate the pulp chamber hindering access to root canals and their subsequent shaping. This study aimed to determine their crystallographic properties and evaluate the capacity of citric acid (CA) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to promote the demineralization of pulp calcifications. The samples were obtained from patients with indications of endodontic treatment, and the radiographic examination was suggestive of pulp stone in at least one permanent tooth. The samples were isolated and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX). The Fourier Transform by high resolution-transmission electron microscopy, Raman microscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to identify the mineral phase and crystallo-

Aim This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of initial irrigation with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and final irrigation with QMix, 40% citric acid, and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on smear layer removal and dentin erosion. Methodology Forty extracted human mandibular premolar teeth were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10) according to the type of final irrigants used: 17% EDTA, QMix, citric acid, and control (normal saline). Canals were mechanically prepared using ProTaper Next instruments to an apical size of X3. Subsequently, the roots were sectioned in a buccolingual direction. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to assess the presence of the smear layer and the amount of dentin erosion in the coronal, middle, and apical thirds of the root canals. Results In regards to smear layer removal, there was a significant difference between the control group and the other tested groups. Moreover, it was significantly higher in the coronal and middle thirds than in the apical third. However, there were no significant differences between the groups of EDTA, QMix, and citric acid. Concerning dentin erosion, citric acid produced significantly more dentin erosion than the other tested groups. Conclusion Final irrigation with solutions had a higher ability to remove the smear layer in the coronal and middle thirds compared to the apical third. Of all the solutions tested, 40% citric acid had the most pronounced impact on dentin erosion, followed by 17% EDTA and QMix.
