The purpose of this study was to investigate smear layer removal and erosive capacity of different concentrations of EDTA on instrumented root canal walls.
Forty single-rooted teeth were instrumented using step-back technique and 2.5% NaOCl. The teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups, and final flushes were preformed with different concentrations of EDTA (15%, 10%, 5%, and 1%). All specimens were prepared for scanning electron microscope evaluation.
The results showed that there was no significant difference on the smear layer removal between different concentrations of EDTA (P = .1959). Only coronal versus apical thirds showed significant difference regarding presence of smear layer (P = .0176). Whereas 15%, 10%, and 5% EDTA solutions demonstrated similar erosion patterns on the root canal walls (P > .05), 1% EDTA caused restricted erosion (P < .0001). There was no significant difference among the regions in terms of erosion (P = .6399).
Lower concentrations of EDTA can be recommended for clinical usage to avoid excessive erosion of root canal dentin.
本研究旨在调查不同浓度乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)对根管预备后根管壁玷污层的去除情况及其侵蚀能力。
采用逐步后退技术和2.5%次氯酸钠对40颗单根管牙进行根管预备。将牙齿随机分为4组,分别用不同浓度的EDTA(15%、10%、5%和1%)进行最终冲洗。所有标本均制备好用于扫描电子显微镜评估。
结果显示,不同浓度的EDTA在去除玷污层方面无显著差异(P = 0.1959)。仅在冠部与根尖三分之一处,玷污层的存在显示出显著差异(P = 0.0176)。15%、10%和5%的EDTA溶液在根管壁上表现出相似的侵蚀模式(P > 0.05),而1%的EDTA导致的侵蚀受限(P < 0.0001)。各区域在侵蚀方面无显著差异(P = 0.6399)。
可推荐临床使用较低浓度的EDTA,以避免根管牙本质过度侵蚀。
