Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of four different irrigants (17% EDTA, 18% etidronic acid, 10% citric acid, and 7% maleic acid) in removing the smear layer from the apical third of root canals during endodontic treatment.
- Sixty single-rooted teeth were divided into four groups, and a scanning electron microscope was used to analyze the smear layer removal after using the irrigants along with sodium hypochlorite.
- Results showed that 7% maleic acid was the most effective in removing the smear layer, while 10% citric acid was more efficient than EDTA and etidronic acid, highlighting the importance

Background: Different studies have implicated the exposure to systemic conditions in the aetiology of cardiovascular diseases like chronic inflammation including chronic periodontitis.
Aim: The present study has been conducted to examine whether biomarker sTNF-R was elevated in apical periodontitis as sTNF-R is a systemic marker of inflammation and has been identified as risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
Material And Methods: sTNF-R levels were measured in 52 patients with apical periodontitis (M:F::25:27), aged 20-45 years and in 20 control patients without periodontitis (M:F::10:10, aged 20-48 years).
