Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effects of ultrasonic activation (US) on the effectiveness of final irrigants in root canal treatments across 180 extracted teeth.
- The samples were divided into six groups based on different irrigation protocols combining distilled water, EDTA, QMix, and US treatment.
- Results indicated that while ultrasonic activation enhanced smear layer removal, it did not significantly improve antimicrobial activity or bond strength compared to groups that didn't use US.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of hypochlorite solutions and reciprocating instrumentation associated with photodynamic therapy (PDT).
Methods: One hundred and thirty two root canals were enlarged up to #35 K-file and inoculated with E.faecalis for 14 days.
