“…Numerous studies have analyzed the different characteristics of ultrasonically activated files, such as cutting efficiency (11,12,(297)(298)(299)(300)(301)(302), effect on bacteria (168,303,304), characteristics of root canal preparation (153,(305)(306)(307)(308)(309)(310)(311)(312)(313), mechanical and technical features of files and handpieces (314 -318), and clinical implications (319 -323).…”

“…This might stress the need of bending the instrument to follow the canal curvature and ensure maximum efficiency and to avoid the risk of canal transportation (14). Alternative measures to avoid canal transportation and maintain instrument efficacy during acoustic irrigant activation include the use of a smooth wire in an ultrasonic device (15,16), or a plastic tip in a sonic handpiece (17).…”

“…Root canals are often curved (31), making them more difficult to clean and disinfect because of the contact points of the instru-ment with the canal walls; it is necessary to bend the instrument to follow the canal curvature, which can compromise the irriga-tion efficiency and confer a risk of canal transportation (32). Rödig et al (33) and Amato et al (34) reported that this reduced the cleaning efficacy of several irrigation techniques.…”

Continuous Apical Negative-Pressure Ultrasonic Irrigation (CANUI): A new concept for activating irrigants

et al. 2017

Background: Irrigation of the root canal system is an essential step in the endodontic treatment. The aim of this article is to introduce continuous apical negative-pressure ultrasonic irrigation (CANUI), a new irrigation concept, and compare the characteristics of this new technique with current devices for activating the irrigant. Material and Methods: CANUI is designed for cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system. The device consists of a tube inside another tube that allows the continuous ultrasonic exchange of fresh irrigant, as the irrigant is simultaneously aspirated apically. The coronal and apical tubes are 0.75 and 0.3 mm in diameter, respectively. It is composed of a nickel-titanium microcannula suitable for the working length of curved canals. Results: The CANUI technique has the advantages of apical negative pressure (to avoid apical extrusion of the irrigant) and continuous ultrasonic irrigation (continuous refreshment of the irrigant and forced introduction into the canal ramifications). Conclusions: The CANUI technique could improve the irrigation technique of dentists to reach more disinfection in endodontic treatments. Key words:Apical negative pressure, continuous ultrasonic irrigation, irrigation in curved canals, irrigation systems.
