Apical Vapour Lock Effect in Endodontics – A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Microbial eradication from the root canal system is essential for successful endodontic therapy. Irrigants play a major role in achieving this objective. In order to achieve optimum results, an irrigant has to penetrate into all the areas of the root canal system. The challenges to thorough irrigation include the complex pulp space anatomy, penetration of irrigating needle, chemical interactions of irrigants and preventing overextrusion of irrigants. Apical vapour lock effect also hinders irrigants from penetrating the apical third of the root canals. This article attempts to shed light on the apical vapour lock effect and methods to prevent or eliminate it
