This study investigated the associations among endodontic instruments, ultrasonic tips and various final irrigation protocols for removing intracanal and intratubular biofilms in long oval canals.
One hundred mandibular premolars inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis were divided into two groups: the control group (CG: n = 10), which received no treatment; and the test groups (n = 30), which included saline (SS), sodium hypochlorite (2.5% NaOCl) and chlorhexidine (2% CHX). The samples were prepared with Reciproc Blue 25/0.08, Flatsonic, Clearsonic and Reciproc Blue 40/0.06. Each test group was divided into three subgroups (n = 10): conventional irrigation (CI) with syringes and needles, passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and continuous ultrasonic irrigation (CUI) with an Irrisonic tip. The root canals were examined using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Mann‒Whitney and Kruskal‒Wallis tests followed by Dunn post hoc tests (p < 0.05) were used for statistical analysis.
NaOCl and CHX were effective for intracanal and intratubular decontamination. Saline showed significant decontamination in the intratubular areas when CUI was used. The CI method was the least effective for intracanal decontamination.
The use of Flatsonic and Clearsonic ultrasonic tips is promising for root canal disinfection.
The disinfection techniques in endodontic treatment focus on the removal of biofilms from long oval canals, which is crucial for effective cleaning during root canal procedures.
本研究调查了根管器械、超声尖以及各种最终冲洗方案在去除长椭圆形根管内和管内生物膜方面的相关性。
将100颗接种粪肠球菌的下颌前磨牙分为两组:对照组(CG:n = 10),不接受任何治疗;试验组(n = 30),包括生理盐水(SS)、次氯酸钠(2.5% NaOCl)和洗必泰(2% CHX)。样本使用Reciproc Blue 25/0.08、Flatsonic、Clearsonic和Reciproc Blue 40/0.06进行制备。每个试验组再分为三个亚组(n = 10):用注射器和针头进行的传统冲洗(CI)、被动超声冲洗(PUI)以及使用Irrisonic尖进行的连续超声冲洗(CUI)。使用共聚焦激光扫描显微镜检查根管。采用Mann-Whitney和Kruskal-Wallis检验,随后进行Dunn事后检验(p < 0.05)进行统计分析。
NaOCl和CHX对根管内和管内去污有效。当使用CUI时,生理盐水在管内区域显示出显著的去污效果。CI方法在根管内去污方面效果最差。
使用Flatsonic和Clearsonic超声尖在根管消毒方面具有前景。
根管治疗中的消毒技术侧重于从长椭圆形根管中去除生物膜,这对于根管治疗过程中的有效清洁至关重要。
