The Effect of a Novel Silver-Citrate Root Canal Irrigation Solution (BioAkt), Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA), and Citric Acid on the Microhardness of Root Canal Dentin: A Comparative In Vitro Study

Abstract: Background and objectiveThe use of a chelating agent as an adjunct to disinfectant irrigation is very necessary to remove the smear layer formed during root canal treatment. However, the decalcifying solutions have a negative impact on dentin microhardness, which might affect the result of endodontic therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of 17% ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), a novel silver-citrate root canal irrigation solution (BioAkt), 10% citric acid, and 40% citric acid on the … Show more

“…The greatest decrease was to 49.37 ± 3.89 VHN after 5 min, compared to the control group's 62.6 ± 6.65 VHN [46]. It was found that there was no significant difference in the reduction of microhardness between 10% citric acid and 40% citric acid solutions [46]. In contrast, comparisons between 17% EDTA and 10% citric acid have yielded varied results.…”

“…A few studies have examined 10% citric acid as an irrigant, observing a reduction in dentin microhardness [11,14,46]. The greatest decrease was to 49.37 ± 3.89 VHN after 5 min, compared to the control group's 62.6 ± 6.65 VHN [46].…”

“…Citric acid was first introduced for use as an acid etching agent in 1971 [33]. At present, it is commonly used in clinical practice for dental etching and root canal irrigation [34][35][36]. A honeycomb etching pattern was achieved when applying 50% citric acid to enamel for 5 min and the optimum shear bond strength was achieved when applying 50% citric acid for 3 min [33].…”
