Background. This in vitro study aimed to compare the antibacterial effect of different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite on elimination of Enterococcus faecalis from root canal systems of primary teeth with or without a passive sonic irrigation system (EndoActivator). Methods. The root canals of 120 extracted single-rooted primary incisors were prepared using the crown-down technique. The teeth were autoclaved and inoculated with E. faecalis. The infected samples were then randomly divided into 6 experimental groups of 15 and positive and negative control groups as follows: group 1: 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution; group 2: 2.5% sodium hypochlorite solution; group 3: 5% sodium hypochlorite solution; group 4: 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution + sonic activation; group 5: 2.5% sodium hypochlorite solution + sonic activation; and group 6: 5% sodium hypochlorite solution + sonic activation. Microbiological samples were collected before and after disinfection procedures and the colony-forming units were counted. Statistical analyses were performed using the two-way ANOVA and post hoc Duncan's tests in cases of significant difference. Results. There were no significant differences between the groups in any of the variables (concentration of antiseptic or use of sonic irrigation system). Conclusion. Use of passive sonic irrigation systems in endodontic treatment of single-rooted primary teeth is of no benefit compared to regular needle irrigation. The results of this study also recommends use of lower concentrations of sodium hypochlorite solution (0.5%) for irrigation of the root canal system rather than higher concentrations given approximately equal efficacy.

“…*Corresponding Author a) The Vibringe System is an irrigation device that combines manual delivery and sonic activation of the solution, has been introduced by a Dutch company Vibringe B. V. The Vibringe is a cordless handpiece that fits in a special disposable 10-mL Luer-Lock syringe that is compatible with every irrigation needle. [14] b) The more recently introduced Endoactivator system (Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK) consists of a portable handpiece and 3 types of disposable polymer tips of different sizes (15/0.02, 25/0.04, 35/0.04). The tips are flexible and so don't cut dentin easily.…”

“…[11] The Endo Vac system shows better microbial control and significantly better removal of debris at 1 mm apical level than needle and other traditional irrigation. [14] b)The RinsEndo system (Durr Dental Co) is based on the same technology. The system involves the usage of 65 µL of a rinsing solution oscillating at a frequency of 1.6 Hz is drawn from an attached syringe and transported to the root canal via a cannula.…”

Removal of vital and necrotic remnants of pulp tissues, microorganisms, and microbial toxins from the root canal system is warranted for ensuing successful treatment outcome. Irrigation plays a major role in achieving the same. The last few years have seen a spurt in technological advances in various irrigant activation devices. This article meticulously reviews the various irrigant agitation systems available, which assists in complete disinfection of the complex root canal system.

“…[2] Irrigation is an crucial part of root canal disinfection because it attains cleaning beyond what might be achieved by root canal instrumentation alone. [7] Due to the irregular canal morphology the use of thermoplasticised Gutta-percha will be useful for effective obturation. Furthermore, proper placement of sealers also plays a critical role in obturation.…”

Unusual root canal anatomy always poses a diagnostic and treatment challenge. Identification of such variation is important for the success of the root canal treatment outcome. The C-shaped root canal configuration is one of the aberrant morphology of molar teeth, commonly the mandibular second molar. In this configuration, the canals are connected by slit or web. The presence of fin, slit and web makes through debridement obstacle for the clinician. This case reports present successful management of C-shaped mandibular molars with three different obturation systems.
