“…Although all activators had a positive performance, it should be taken into account that in vitro studies collect pure and standardized information without interference from variables, however, the clinical success is multifactorial. A recent systematic review also found that UA results in greater root canal disinfection than conventional irrigation (24). In contrast, Silva et al (25) presented that UA has not better performance than conventional irrigation on periapical healing.…”

This study assessed the intratubular antibacterial ability of different activated irrigations after chemical mechanical preparation. Seventy-two palatal root canals of upper molars were infected with Enterococcus faecalis for 4 weeks, and then initial bacterial collection from the main root canal was performed. The root canals were prepared by using a WaveOne Gold large (45/.05) and distributed into 6 groups according to the activation of the final irrigation: ultrasonic activation (UA), XP-Endo Finisher (25/.00), XP Clean (25/.02), EasyClean (25/.04) in reciprocating motion and continuous rotary motion (ECRot), and conventional irrigation. After final irrigation, another bacterial collection from the main root canal was performed, and the root was sectioned transversely in three-thirds and stained for analysis by confocal laser microscopy. Intratubular bacteria were collected through dentin powder and plated for bacterial viability analysis. Intergroup and intragroup comparisons were performed by using analysis of variance and repeated measures analysis of variance, respectively, both at 5% significance. ECRot had higher antibacterial ability than UA (p<0.05), and both were superior to the other groups (p<0.05) in both methodologies. It can be concluded that activation of final irrigation enhances the disinfection of the root canal system, and activators have different efficacies

“…It is used in concentrations of 2–5.25% due to its excellent tissue dissolving capacities, broad antimicrobial spectrum, and ability to remove the organic component of the smear layer [ 4 ]. NaOCl is used throughout the whole treatment in order to eradicate microbiota, chemically prepare parts of the endodontic space that cannot be reached with mechanical preparation, and in the final irrigation protocol for additional antimicrobial effect and removal of the organic part of the smear layer [ 5 ].…”

The aim of the study was a quantitative analysis of p-chloroaniline (PCA) formation during 2% CHX activation with US and MDI methods in a root canal-like environment with the HPLC-DAD method and, thus, a safety assessment of US and MDI agitation of CHX in endodontic treatment. Two percent CHX was activated with the US method using ISO 30 and 35 K-file, and the MDI method using ISO 30.06 and 35.06 GP cones for 15, 30, 60, and 90 s. PCA concentration was assessed with the HPLC-DAD method. PCA concentration was also assessed for 2% CHX after 0, 3, 18, and 21 days of storage in ambient conditions. PCA was detected in all samples in all methods of activation. The concentration of PCA was dependent on time of activation in US ISO 30 and ISO 35 group (p < 0.05). In the MDI ISO 30.06 and ISO 35.06 groups, a similar trend was observed but without statistical significance (p > 0.05). PCA was detected in shelf-stored 2% CHX and the concentration was related to the time of storage. PCA is released after CHX activation with US and MDI, but mean concentrations are not higher than those observed from self-degradation of shelf-stored 2% CHX.
