Materials And Methods: In this study, 54 patients were selected. Among these patients, 72 young permanent molars were selected randomly in which IPC was required.
Aim: This study was conducted to compare smear layer removal by five different irrigation techniques-conventional needle irrigation (CI), manual dynamic activation (MDA), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), sonic irrigation (SI), and negative apical pressure (NAP).
Materials And Methods: Fifty freshly extracted mandibular first premolars were cleaned and shaped by One Curve rotary files and 3% sodium hypochlorite and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The samples were divided into five equal groups ( = 10), according to the final irrigation activation technique: Group I, CI; Group II, MDA; Group III, PUI; Group IV, SI; and Group V, NAP.
