Cleaning Efficiency of XP-endo Finisher File in Comparison with Sonic and Ultrasonic Irrigation Systems (An In Vitro Study)
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Cleaning and shaping of root canals is a crucial step in endodontic treatments. Irrigation allows removal of residual tissues in the canal that cannot be cleaned by instrumentation alone. This study evaluates and compares the efficiency of XP-endo Finisher (XPF), EndoActivator (EA) and Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation (PUI) in removing dentin debris and to compare percentage of remaining dentin debris for each irrigation system. Sixty extracted upper molar teeth with straight palatal canals were used in this study. Canals were prepared with ProTaper NEXT files to size X4 with 1ml 2.0% NaOCl irrigation between files. Roots were distributed into three groups of twenty samples and irrigated with 1ml 2.0% NaOCl which was activated for 60 seconds using three irrigation systems; group one, XPF; group two, EA; and group three, PUI, then the groups were rinsed with 5ml 2.0% NaOCl. Roots were split longitudinally, photographed digitally, images transferred to a computer, and percentage of remaining dentin debris at apical, middle and coronal levels was calculated. Data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and LSD at 1% and 5% significant levels. Results showed that cleaning with XPF or PUI resulted in significantly cleaner canals (P<0.01) than EA at all canal levels. XPF resulted in cleaner canals than PUI at all levels, but with insignificant statistical difference (P>0.05). Apical level of all canals showed greater amount of dentin debris (P<0.01) compared to middle and coronal levels, regardless of irrigation system used.
