“…As a final irrigating agent, 17% EDTA was used after both solutions. The two solutions were found to have equivalent smear layer removal capabilities (68). The use of MC for endodontic irrigation may be advantageous because it is a more biocompatible antioxidant.…”

The goal of endodontic treatment is to remove all the vital and necrotic tissues, microorganisms and microbial byproducts from root canal system. This goal can be achieved through chemical and mechanical debridement of root canals. This article narrates the specifics and requirements of the irrigation solutions. Sodium hypochlorite is proposed as the primary irrigant by virtue of its organic tissue dissolution capacity and broad antimicrobial properties. On the other hand, chelation solutions are recommended as auxiliary solutions to remove the smear layer or to hinder its formation on dentin surface. Thus, it's hoped that sealers and root canal fillers can penetrate to dentin tubules and obturate the canals hermetically. There are new studies on traditional irrigants especially on some irrigants that can replace sodium hypoclorite. This article reviews the new irrigants which can be used in future endodontic practice, and their advantages and limitations. Moreover, actions and interactions of recently used irrigants are adverted.

“…It is a species that can survive easily and multiply. 6 Enterococcus faecalis is most common and more resistant to endodontic treatment because it is capable of entering the dentinal tubules and adheres to collagen in the presence of serum, causing root canal failure. 5,7,8 The chemical along with mechanical preparation of the root canal definitely decreases the number of bacteria.…”

With the advancement in the science of Endodontics like instruments, rotary machines, lasers and irrigation delivery system, the irrigation solution is also getting evolved, the researchers are looking for a substitute to synthetic drugs because of its side effects. Development is moving towards natural products which is safe and cost effective. This article reviews few herbal irrigants and its advantages for the root canal treatment

“…[5,6,7] For this reason Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was used, which effectively demineralises the smear layer [8] but has to be used along with NaOCl to remove the organic part [9] and does not have disinfective ability. [10] Chlorhexidine is another commonly used antimicrobial agent which is being used to irrigate the canals due to its wide spectrum antimicrobial activity, biocompatibility and ability to disinfect the infected root canals.…”
