ABSTRACT
The present in vivo study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of apical negative pressure irrigation (ANP), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and positive pressure irrigation (PP) in the reduction of intracanal bacteria of dogs' teeth with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis. Eighty root canals were randomly distributed into 3 experimental and 2 control groups according to the irrigation delivery system group ANP (n=20), group PUI (n=20), group PP (n=20), group PC (positive control – sterile saline irrigation; n=10) and group NC (negative control - vital pulps not subjected to bacterial inoculation; n=10). The first sample (S1) was collected at baseline, and the second sample (S2) was collected after the disinfection protocols. All samples were seeded in culture media for anaerobic bacteria. CFU counts were analyzed statistically by the Kruskal-Wallis, Dwass-Steel-Critchlow-Fligner post-hoc and Chi-square followed by Tukey like multiple comparisons for proportions (α=0.05). All experimental groups were effective in reducing Gram-positive bacteria compared with PC (p<0.05). Regarding the reduction of Gram-negative bacteria, group ANP was significantly better than PP (p<0.05). No statistically significant difference could be found between PP and PUI (p>0.05). In dog's teeth with apical periodontitis, the use of ANP and PUI can be considered promising disinfection protocols as both delivery systems promoted a significant bacterial reduction.
RESUMO
O presente estudo foi conduzido para avaliar a eficácia da irrigação por pressão apical negativa (ANP), irrigação ultrassônica passiva (PUI) e irrigação por pressão positiva (PP) na redução do número de bactérias presentes nos canais radiculares de dentes de cães com necrose pulpar e lesão periapical. Um total de 80 canais radiculares foram aleatoriamente distribuídos em 3 grupos experimentais e 2 grupos controles, de acordo com o sistema de irrigação empregado grupo ANP (n=20), grupo PUI (n=20), grupo PP (n=20), grupo PC (controle positivo – irrigação com solução salina; n=10) e grupo NC (controle negativo – tecido pulpar com vitalidade, não submetido à contaminação bacteriana; n=10). A primeira amostra (S1) foi coletada no início do estudo, e a segunda amostra (S2) foi coletada após a utilização dos protocolos de irrigação. Todas as amostras foram semeadas em meio de cultura para micro-organismos anaeróbios. As contagens de unidades formadoras de colônia (cfu) foram analisadas estatisticamente por meio dos testes de Kruskal-Wallis, pós-teste de Dwass-Steel-Critchlow-Fligner e teste do qui-quadrado seguido do teste Tukey like para comparações múltiplas (α=0,05). Todos os grupos experimentais foram efetivos na redução de micro-organismos Gram-positivos, comparados ao grupo PC (p<0,05). Com relação à redução de microorganismos Gram-negativos, o grupo ANP foi significantemente melhor que o PP (p<0,05). Não foi possível observar diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos PP e PUI (p>0,05). Conclui-se que, em dentes de cães com periodontite apical, os sistemas de irrigação ANP e PUI podem ser considerados métodos promissores, uma vez que ambos os protocolos promoveram uma redução bacteriana significante.
