The aim of the present study was to compare sonic activation using EDDY (VDW, Munich, Germany), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), and mechanical activation using the XPendo Finisher (FKG Dentaire, La Chaux-des-Fonds, Switzerland) for the removal of calcium hydroxide from artificial grooves in straight root canals.
The root canals of 90 human maxillary incisors with straight root canals were prepared using Mtwo files (VDW) up to size 40/.04, and the teeth were split longitudinally. A lateral groove in the apical or coronal part was prepared in each root half and filled with calcium hydroxide, and the root halves were reassembled. Five groups were established according to the removal techniques: group A, the XPendo Finisher; group B, EDDY; group C, PUI; group D, manual irrigation with a syringe; and group E, no irrigation (the control group). The activation procedures were performed for 30 seconds with 3 mL sodium hypochlorite 3% as the irrigant. The cleanliness of the grooves was scored under 10× magnification. The median of scoring was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test (P = .05).
All activation techniques were significantly more effective in the removal of calcium hydroxide than manual irrigation (P < .05). Regarding the apical groove, EDDY and PUI were significantly more effective in the removal of calcium hydroxide than the XPendo Finisher (P < .05). No difference was found for the coronal groove (P > .05).
EDDY and PUI were significantly more effective in the removal of calcium hydroxide than the XPendo Finisher regarding the apical region. Manual irrigation was significantly less effective than all activation techniques.
本研究旨在比较 EDdy(VDW,慕尼黑,德国)、被动超声冲洗(PUI)和 XPendo 抛光器(FKG Dentaire,拉绍德封,瑞士)对人工直根管凹槽内氢氧化钙的去除效果。
90 颗上颌切牙的直根管采用 Mtwo 锉(VDW)预备至 40/.04 号,牙齿纵向劈开。在每个根管半段的根尖或冠部制备侧向凹槽并用氢氧化钙填充,然后重新组装根管半段。根据去除技术将牙齿分为 5 组:A 组,XPendo 抛光器;B 组,EDdy;C 组,PUI;D 组,注射器手动冲洗;E 组,不冲洗(对照组)。用 3%次氯酸钠 3ml 作为冲洗液,每个组激活 30 秒。在 10×放大倍数下对凹槽的清洁度进行评分。采用 Kruskal-Wallis 检验(P=0.05)对评分中位数进行分析。
所有激活技术在去除氢氧化钙方面均明显优于手动冲洗(P<0.05)。对于根尖凹槽,EDdy 和 PUI 在去除氢氧化钙方面明显优于 XPendo 抛光器(P<0.05)。对于冠部凹槽,两种技术间无差异(P>0.05)。
EDdy 和 PUI 在去除根尖区域的氢氧化钙方面明显优于 XPendo 抛光器。手动冲洗明显不如所有激活技术有效。
