Introduction: This study evaluated the bacterial reduction promoted by root canal preparation using irrigation with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) alone, associated with etidronic acid (1-hydroxyethane 1,1-diphosphonic acid [HEDP]) or alternated with citric acid, and after a supplementary agitation step.
Methods: Extracted mandibular premolars were selected and distributed into 3 groups based on anatomically paired micro-computed tomographic analyses. The canals were contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis for 30 days and then subjected to chemomechanical preparation with a reciprocating instrument under irrigation with NaOCl alone, mixed with HEDP (NaOCl/HEDP), or alternated with citric acid (NaOCl/CA).
Objective: The study performed a systematic review to understand better the pathogenesis, microbiology, and predisposing factors related to the association between cerebral abscess and odontogenic infections.
Design: The review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines and registered on PROSPERO. The search was carried out in PubMed electronic database for articles published until March 2020.
