“…24 Likewise, a study by Hata et al showed that instrumentation and irrigation with 5% sodium hypochlorite followed by 15% EDTA using a syringe was the most effective irrigation technique for smear layer removal. 25 Therefore, in the current study, conventional irrigation and smear layer removal by the aforementioned protocol was considered as the gold standard for comparison. Since mechanical instrumentation only eliminates 50% of bacteria from root canal, irrigating solutions are required to eliminate microbiota from the zones out of reach of instruments.…”

Due to the limitations associated with the use of existing biocidal agents, there is a need to explore new methods of disinfection to help maintain effective bioburden control, especially within the healthcare environment. The transformation of low mineral salt solutions into an activated metastable state, by electrochemical unipolar action, produces a solution containing a variety of oxidants, including hypochlorous acid, free chlorine and free radicals, known to possess antimicrobial properties. Electrochemically activated solutions (ECAS) have been shown to have broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, and have the potential to be widely adopted within the healthcare environment due to low-cost raw material requirements and ease of production (either remotely or in situ). Numerous studies have found ECAS to be highly efficacious, as both a novel environmental decontaminant and a topical treatment agent (with low accompanying toxicity), but they are still not in widespread use, particularly within the healthcare environment. This review provides an overview of the scientific evidence for the mode of action, antimicrobial spectrum and potential healthcare-related applications of ECAS, providing an insight into these novel yet seldom utilised biocides.

“…Earlier studies found ECA solution to be effective in removing the smear layer. 68,69 In view of its safety compared with NaOCl, ECA solutions may have potential as a root canal irrigant and warrant further investigation.…”
