Efficacy of Endoactivator Irrigation System for Debris Removal And Checking Apical Extrusion of Irrigating Solution Compared To Conventional Methods – A Sem Evaluation.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
Aim : The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of Endoactivator in the removal of debris and checking apical extrusion of irrigating solution from root canal walls compared to conventional methods. Methodology: 20 extracted mature human single rooted teeth were instrumented and irrigated. Teeth were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 – Conventional irrigation was performed using 2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA with side vented needle. Group 2 – final activation of irrigants by Endoactivator. Results: The amount of extruded solution was measured by calibrated vial. This study showed that the debris removal efficacy of Endoactivator device is better in middle 1/3rd of canal compared to 2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA. The amount of apical extrusion of irrigating solution was less in endoactivator irrigation system compared to conventional methods. Conclusion: This study concluded that Endoactivator demonstrated a higher debris removal and significantly less irrigant extrusion compared to conventional methods.
