“…Despite different denominations, they are all oxidizing solutions containing hypochlorous acid and produced according to the same principles, i.e., by passing a saline solution over titanium-coated electrodes. These solutions have been assessed for their ability to remove debris and smear layer from root canals (13,14) and eliminate bacteria (12,15). Studies have found favorable results and biocompatibility with vital tissues (14).…”

“…Due to limitations of NaOCl, especially in relation to toxicity, the use of irrigants known as "electrochemically activated water" (12,13), "oxidative potential water" (14) or "super-oxidized water" (15,16) has been suggested in the literature. Despite different denominations, they are all oxidizing solutions containing hypochlorous acid and produced according to the same principles, i.e., by passing a saline solution over titanium-coated electrodes.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the tissue dissolution ability of different irrigating solutions associated or not to ultrasonic agitation. Ninety bovine pulp fragments (n=10 per group) were weighed and then placed individually in Eppendorf test tubes containing the following irrigants: G1-2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl); G2-2.5% NaOCl + ultrasonic agitation (US); G3-2.5% NaOCl + 0.2% cetrimide (CTR); G4-2.5% NaOCl + 0.2% CTR + US; G5-400 ppm Sterilox (SX); G6-SX + US; G7-0.2% CTR; G8-0.2% CTR + US; G9-saline solution. Two blinded observers assessed the samples continuously for the first 4 h, and then every hour for the next 12 h. Dissolution speed was calculated by dividing the initial pulp weight (mg) by the period of time until complete dissolution (min). Data were compared by ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test with a 5% significance level. G1 to G4 dissolved pulp fragments completely and G2 was significantly faster than the other groups. G5 to G9 did not exhibit dissolving activity. In conclusion, only groups containing NaOCl were capable of pulp tissue dissolution, which was enhanced by ultrasonic agitation, but did not alter when 0.2% cetrimide was associated. This isolated solution and Sterilox showed no dissolving capacity, regardless the use of ultrasound.

Abstract:This paper highlights the importance of root canal disinfection. It discusses the different endodontic irrigants available and comments on how these can be used most effectively. Eliminating bacteria from the root canal system is an essential stage in endodontic therapy. An objective of endodontic treatment is removal of diseased tissue, elimination of bacteria from the canal system and prevention of recontamination.(1) Disinfection of the root canal system, as part of endodontic therapy, by preparation and irrigation is a key in reducing the number of bacteria within the root canal and helping to control periapical disease.
