Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate, by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), the cleaning of the root canal walls after instrumentation and irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) associated with 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) gel or liquid, combined or not with 17% ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA).
Study Design: Sixty single-root human teeth were subjected to standardized root canal instrumentation with different irrigants (n = 10): G1) NaOCl + CHX liquid; G2) NaOCl + CHX liquid + EDTA + saline solution; G3) NaOCl + CHX gel; G4) NaOCl + CHX gel + EDTA + saline solution; G5) saline solution; G6) saline solution + EDTA. After instrumentation, the teeth were prepared for SEM analysis (×500 and ×2,000) to evaluate the cleaning of the cervical, middle, and apical thirds. The area analyzed was quantified according to the percentage of open and closed tubules, and data were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance and Tukey tests (P = .05).
Results: The number of open tubules was highest in G4 in all root thirds, showing statistically significant difference from G1, G2, and G5 (P < .05). G1 presented higher quantity of closed tubules significant than G2.
Conclusion: Irrigation with NaOCl and CHX gel followed by EDTA and saline solution produced greater cleaning of the root canal walls.

Antimicrobial efficacy of natural-based endodontic solutions: a systematic review with a network meta-analysis.
Braz Oral Res
January 2025
Universidade Estadual Paulista - Unesp, School of Dentistry, Department of Restorative Dentistry, Araraquara, SP, Brazil.
This systematic review aims to provide preclinical evidence of the antimicrobial efficacy of natural endodontic solutions (NES) compared to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and chlorhexidine (CHX) against Enterococcus faecalis. The study followed the PRISMA guidelines and had a registered protocol (PROSPERO - CRD42021224022). The inclusion criteria comprised ex vivo studies simulating root canal irrigation to assess the standardized mean difference of colony-forming units (CFUs).

This study compared the effects of different final irrigation protocols on the mechanical properties and structural integrity of root dentine. One-hundred eight teeth were instrumented and irrigated with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) using conventional irrigation (CI). Teeth were distributed into four groups based on final irrigation protocols: Control Group (CG): 17%EDTA/CI + H2O; G1: 2.

Adaptation to Sodium Hypochlorite and Potassium Permanganate May Lead to Their Ineffectiveness Against .

Article Synopsis
- Adaptation of fungal strains to antiseptics can undermine the effectiveness of antibiotics, yet previous studies have not focused on this area.
- This study evaluated how fungal strains adapted to eight different antiseptics, finding that octenidine and chlorhexidine were the most effective, while others showed varying levels of effectiveness.
- The research indicated that while most antiseptics retained their efficacy, sodium hypochlorite and potassium permanganate risk losing effectiveness due to adaptation, especially at clinical concentrations.
