Extrusion of debris with and without intentional foraminal enlargement – A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Abstract: This systematic review and meta-analysis was sought to assess whether intentional foraminal enlargement (IFE) is responsible for extrusion of a larger quantity of debris from extracted human teeth with fully formed apexes. Following the recommendations of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis -PRISMA, electronic and manual searches were performed to identify studies that evaluated the extrusion of debris, comparing different apical limits of instrumentation (with/without IFE).

“…One of these limitations is that the tooth apex was exposed to air and the periapical tissues were not replicated. Therefore, the findings from this study, like the previous ones, cannot be completely extrapolated to a clinical scenario where the apex is surrounded by periodontal tissues that could potentially limit apical extrusion [28]. Some previous studies have proposed the use of flower foam to simulate the back pressure exerted by periapical tissues [29, 30], but this method has also faced criticism because the foam may absorb irrigant while acting as a barrier [29].…”

“…There is common sense that associates the extrusion of debris with postoperative pain in necrotic teeth, and IFE could contribute to that. However, Machado et al [ 51 ] conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess whether IFE was responsible for extruding more debris from extracted human teeth with fully formed apexes. Following the recommendations of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis – PRISMA, electronic and manual searches were performed to identify studies that evaluated the extrusion of debris, comparing different apical limits of instrumentation (with/without IFE).…”

“…The amount of extrusion of debris is influenced by factors such as cavity design, preparation technique and the irrigant used [18]. A previous study in mandibular first molars teeth using distilled water testing single‐file systems reported limited differences when two access cavities were compared [4].…”
