Article Synopsis
- The smear layer negatively impacts the success of root canal treatments by hindering effective sealing during obturation, especially in the apical third where lateral canals are present.
- A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of various irrigation activation systems (XP Endo Finisher, endoactivator, passive ultrasonic activation, and root canal brush) against conventional irrigation for removing the smear layer while using EDTA and sodium hypochlorite.
- Results indicated that the endoactivator group showed the most significant smear layer removal, followed by passive ultrasonic irrigation, XP Finisher, root canal brush, and conventional irrigation, with all groups exhibiting statistically significant differences.
The pathogenic relationship between the oral lichenoid reaction (OLR) and dental restorative materials has been confirmed many times. An OLR affecting oral mucosa in direct contact with an amalgam restoration represents a delayed, type IV, cell mediated immune response to mercury or one of the other constituents of the dental amalgam. Bombay blood group patients are more prone to this.
