Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) as an additional step after root canal treatment to enhance disinfection.
- Samples were collected from teeth with apical periodontitis at various stages of treatment, revealing that PUI did not significantly improve disinfection outcomes compared to standard chemomechanical methods.
- The results highlighted that while root canal procedures reduced bacterial presence and diversity, the use of PUI still resulted in some bacteria persisting post-treatment.
