Efficacy of Different Manual and Sonic Agitation Procedures to Remove Calcium Hydroxide from A 3D Printed Root Canal Model with Artificial Spherical Extensions
Jörg Philipp Tchorz
Abstract:The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of two different needle types and three agitation methods to remove Calcium Hydroxide (CH) from root canals. A total of 75 3D printed root canal models with artificial spherical extensions were produced, filled with CH and radiographs were taken from two directions. Five groups were established (n=15) according to the removal techniques: group 1, Syringe Irrigation (SI); group 2, Eddy Flex Cannula (EFC); group 3, Manual Dynamic Agitation (MDA); gro… Show more
