The purpose of this study was to measure and compare the root canal cleanliness and smear layer removal effectiveness of Aquatine Endodontic Cleanser (Aquatine EC) when used as an endodontic irrigating solution in comparison with 6% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).
Forty-five human teeth were randomly allocated to five treatment groups; the pulp chamber was accessed, cleaned, and shaped by using ProTaper and ProFile rotary instrumentation to an ISO size #40. The teeth were then processed for scanning electron microscopy, and the root canal cleanliness and removal of smear layer were examined.
The most effective removal of smear layer occurred with Aquatine EC and NaOCl, both with a rinse of EDTA.
Aquatine EC appears to be the first hypochlorous acid approved by the FDA to be a possible alternative to the use of NaOCl as an intracanal irrigant. Further research is needed to identify safer and more effective alternatives to the use of NaOCl irrigation in endodontics.
本研究旨在测量和比较 Aquatine 根管清洁剂(Aquatine EC)作为根管冲洗液与 6%次氯酸钠(NaOCl)相比时的根管清洁度和去除玷污层的效果。
将 45 个人类牙齿随机分配到五个治疗组;通过使用 ProTaper 和 ProFile 旋转器械将牙髓腔清理、清洁和成型至 ISO 40 号。然后对牙齿进行扫描电子显微镜处理,并检查根管清洁度和去除玷污层的情况。
最有效的去除玷污层发生在 Aquatine EC 和 NaOCl 与 EDTA 冲洗时。
Aquatine EC 似乎是 FDA 批准的第一种次氯酸,可能是替代 NaOCl 作为根管内冲洗液的一种选择。需要进一步研究以确定在牙髓病学中替代 NaOCl 冲洗的更安全、更有效的方法。
