“…This took to the search for a biocompatible material that allows to an effective removal of the filling material, resulting in faster treatment and better capacity of cleanness and disinfection [7,18]. Although the high performance in terms of capacity of dissolution of gutta-percha [17], the xylol presents undesirable effect and its use must be cautious [10].…”

“…Both the orange oil and orange terpene (citrol) are essential oils extracted from the bark of sweet orange. These compounds have the advantage of the pleasant odor and the absence of harmful effects, for example, the orange oil, has a similar action on the gutta-percha when compared to xylene [15] and chloroform [18,20,21].…”

Introduction: The removal of the filling material during the Endodontic retreatment is essential, so a better action of solvents on the gutta-percha is desired. Objective: To evaluate in vitro the gutta-percha dissolution ability of different solvents. Material and methods: Four solvents (xylol, eucalyptol, citrol, and orange oil) were applied on gutta-percha points, which had been later submitted to the weight loss analysis at 2, 5, and 10 minutes. For each solvent, 30 size #60 main cones were used, divided into three groups. Distilled water was used as control group. The statistical test applied was Kruskal-Wallis. Results: No statistically significant difference occurred among the solvents at 2 minutes (p > 0.05); however, during this period, citrol had the best performance. In longer time intervals, the xylol showed differences compared to eucalyptol at 5 minutes and to eucalyptol and citrol at 10 minutes (p < 0.05). The worst results were found for eucalyptol. Conclusion: This xylol was the solvent with improved ability to dissolve the gutta-percha points, with better results at longer time periods.

“…Similarly in endodontic re-treatment conditions, use of a solvent is helpful for complete removal of GP. [13]Easy GP removal achieved with the solvents varies depending upon the dissolution potential and removal capacity of the latter. Trying to balance the effectiveness and toxicity of the solvent, essential oils are mostly accepted because of easy availability and biocompatibility.…”

“…Moreover, a new formula of natural gutta-percha solvent (GuttaClear), which is a citrus fruit oil-based solvent containing d-limonene has been introduced ( 9 ). The efficiency of d-limonene is equivalent to chloroform in dissolving gutta-percha ( 10 ). It was suggested to use solvent far away from the apex to prevent postoperative pain ( 11 ), however there is no evidence of the exact distance required.…”

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate postoperative pain after non-surgical root canal retreatment with or without GuttaClear. Methods Sixty participants were randomly distributed in this non-inferiority trial into two parallel single-blinded experimental groups (Group1: non-solvent, Group2: solvent). After root canal retreatment, the participants completed questionnaires using direct (numerical rating scales) and indirect (number of analgesics taken) measurements of postoperative pain at immediate, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h post-retreatment. The predisposing postoperative pain factors were recorded and analysed using Generalized Estimating Equations to identify correlated factors (α=0.05). Results The pain incidence was not significantly different between the groups at any time point. The highest incidence of postoperative pain occurred immediately after retreatment (35%) and then decreased to 15% at 24 h (P<0.05). The number of participants requiring analgesics was 6.67% in the non-solvent group and 9.99% in the solvent group which were similar between the groups. Patients with a history of previous postoperative pain were 21.6-fold more likely to have postoperative pain than those without (P<0.05). Conclusion There was no difference in postoperative pain or analgesics required after root canal retreatment with or without using GuttaClear. This study is registered in ClinicalTrial.gov (NCT04326998).
