RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of different agitation methods on apical extrusion of 1.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in an ex vivo model of immature teeth. METHODS: Sixty extracted human inferior incisors were prepared to simulate immature teeth and embedded in an artificial root socket made of silicone impression material. The teeth were then divided into four groups: Conventional needle irrigation (CNI) alone, CNI supplemented with Ultrasonic Irrigant Activation (UIA), EasyClean (EC), or XP-endo Finisher (XPF). Extruded NaOCl was collected, reacted with m-cresol purple, and its absorbance values were measured. The data were statistically analyzed using One-way analysis of variance with a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: All groups showed apically extruded irrigating solution, and the mean volumes of extruded NaOCl did not differ significantly between any of the test groups (p⟩0.05). CONCLUSION: The activation of 1.5% NaOCL by UIA, EC, or XPF as supplementary to CNI does not promote greater apical extrusion when compared to CNI alone in simulated immature teeth.

Objective: The aim of this randomized clinical study was to evaluate the effect of laser-activated irrigation using a photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) technique on postoperative pain following completion of root canal obturation. Methods: Fifty-six patients were enrolled in this randomized clinical trial. Fifty-six healthy premolars or molars with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis, symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, or symptomatic pulpal necrosis, with or without apical periodontitis, were mechanically prepared for endodontic treatment and divided into two groups. Patients were randomly allocated to treatment groups. In the positive control group G1, the final irrigation with 2 cc of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) was achieved using a 27G needle, introduced into the canal to a distance of 5 mm from the predetermined working length. In the experimental group G2, the root canals were irrigated with 17% ethyldiamine tetric acid (EDTA) and 5.25% NaOCl following the PIPS protocol, using an Er:YAG 2940 nm laser (LightWalker ATS®; Fotona, Slovenia) with a 600 µm diameter tip and operating parameters of 20 mJ per pulse, 15 Hz frequency, 0.3 W average power, and a 50-µs pulse duration. Postoperatively, the patients were advised to take a minor analgesic (ibuprofen 400 mg) in the event of pain perception. Postoperative pain levels were assessed after 24, 48, and 72 h and 7 days through the use of a Visual Analogue Scale questionnaire, completed by each patient. Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Fisher Exact, Chi square, Mann-Whitney test, and Friedman's test. The level of significance was set at α = 0.05. Results: There was no significant difference between the laser-irradiated group and the control group (p < 0.5). Laser activation of irrigating solutions did not increase postoperative pain. Conclusions: The outcome of this investigation indicated that PIPS was as effective as conventional irrigation in relation to postoperative pain, making this activation technique interesting to use for supplementary root canal disinfection.

Given the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance among bacterial strains and the side effects caused by synthetic drugs, it is increasingly important to investigate potential herbal alternatives. In the present study, antimicrobial, cell cytotoxicity, and cleaning tests were performed to evaluate the potential of Fufang Bingpeng irrigant as a root canal irrigant, in addition to q-PCR and high-throughput sequencing analyses. Our in vitro results showed a low minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of Fufang Bingpeng irrigant against Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277 (6.25 and 12.5%, respectively), Prevotella intermedius ATCC 25611 (6.25 and 6.25%, respectively), Fusobacterium nucleatum ATCC 25286 (6.25 and 6.25%, respectively), Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 19433 (25 and 25%, respectively), and Bacteriodes fragilis ATCC 25285 (12.5 and 12.5%, respectively). Furthermore, it effectively removed the remaining debris and increased the number of open dentinal tubules in root canals compared to the NaCl irrigant (p < 0.05). Fufang Bingpeng irrigant also presented low cytotoxicity to L929 cells compared to the NaClO irrigant. The in vivo results indicated that all irrigants used significantly reduced the number of bacteria compared to the number prior to treatment, and only 1/104.95 bacteria remained in the root canal following the use of Fufang Bingpeng irrigant (p < 0.001). Moreover, the high-throughput sequencing results indicated that all irrigants markedly enhanced the α diversity in the root canal compared to the before preparation control group, while Fufang Bingpeng maintained better microbial diversity than other groups. Therefore, Fufang Bingpeng irrigant presents a promising alternative for use as a root canal irrigant in clinical settings.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 2 different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite on healing and postoperative pain after primary endodontic treatment. METHODS: One hundred mandibular molars with pulp necrosis and chronic apical periodontitis were randomly assigned to 2 treatment groups: high-concentration (HC) 5% sodium hypochlorite and low-concentration (LC) 1% sodium hypochlorite. Root canal treatment was performed using a standardized protocol. Canals were prepared using equal volumes of respective irrigants after each instrument change. After chemomechanical preparation, the final flush was performed with 5 mL 17% EDTA solution followed by 5 mL 5% or 1% sodium hypochlorite depending on the group. All patients were asked to record the degree of pain on a visual analog scale every 24 hours for 1 week. At the second visit, canals were obturated, and the teeth were restored permanently. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed every 3 months for 12 months. The data collected were statistically analyzed. RESULTS: Eighty-six teeth were available for evaluation at the 1-year follow-up. The overall healing rate observed was 76.7%. Greater healing was observed in the HC (81.4%) group compared with the LC group (72.1%), but the difference was not statistically significant (P > .05). No significant differences in pain incidence and pain scores were found between the 2 groups (P >.05), with lower values reported in the LC group. CONCLUSIONS: The use of LC or HC sodium hypochlorite did not result in a significant difference in the clinical outcome.

Objetivo:O presente estudo piloto "in vitro" avaliou o efeito antimicrobiano do hipoclorito de sódio, clorexidina, terapia fotodinâmica e do óleo de girassol ozonizado utilizados como agentes irrigantes na eliminação do Enterococcus faecalis em canais radiculares de dentes humanos extraídos.Métodos:Sessenta raízes de dentes unirradiculares (n = 60) foram selecionadas e autoclavadas para realização do experimento em fluxo laminar. Para a realização do teste de infiltração, confeccionou-se um dispositivo para cada denteque permitiu a contaminação por Enterococcus faecalis e posterior preparo químico-mecânico. As amostras foram submetidas ao preparo biomecânico com diâmetro cirúrgico correspondente à lima #45 e mesma conicidade nos terços médio e cervical e receberam protocolo de desinfecção com hipoclorito de sódio a 2,5% (NaOCl), Clorexidina a 2% (CHX), óleo de girassol ozonizado a 2400ppm (OGO), PDT após irrigação com soro fisiológico (PDT+S) e PDT após irrigação com hipoclorito de sódio a 2,5% (PDT+H). As dez raízes restantes constituíram os controles positivo e negativo, sendo cinco dentes para cada grupo. Os controles positivos foram infectados e não foi utilizado nenhum agente irrigante. Os controles negativos foram compostos por dentes não contaminados pelo E. faecallis. Resultados: Os resultados da contagem de UFC/mL total e análise descritiva foram realizados. NaOCl e PDT+H apresentaram crescimento bacteriano inferiores aos valores de referência e foi considerado nulo. CHX e PDT+S apresentaram crescimento bacteriano baixo e OGO apresentou crescimento bacteriano moderado. Conclusão: NaOCl e PDT+H apresentaram melhor desempenho em relação aos demais protocolos de desinfecção utilizados. OGO apresentou crescimento bacteriano moderado sugerindo inviabilidade de sua utilização isolada em protocolos de desinfecção em endodontia. (AU)
Aim: The present "in vitro" pilot study evaluated the antimicrobial effects of sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, photodynamic therapy, and ozonated sunflower oil, which were used as irrigating agents in the elimination of Enterococcus faecalis in the root canals of extracted human teeth. Methods: Sixty roots of single-root teeth (n = 60) were selected and autoclaved to perform the laminar flow experiment. To perform the infiltration test, a device was constructed for each tooth, which allowed for contamination by Enterococcus faecalis, and the tooth's subsequent chemical-mechanical preparation. The samples were submitted to biomechanical preparation with surgical diameter, corresponding to file #45 and the same taper in the middle and cervical thirds, and received a disinfection protocol with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), chlorhexidine 2% (CHX), ozonized sunflower oil at 2400ppm (OGO), PDT after irrigation with saline solution (PDT+S), and PDT after irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (PDT + H). The remaining ten roots were positive and negative controls, with five teeth in each group. Positive controls were infected, and no irrigating agent was used. Negative controls consisted of teeth that were not contaminated by E. faecallis. Results: The results of the total CFU count and descriptive analysis were performed. NaOCl and PDT+H presented a bacterial growth of much lower t than the reference values and was considered null. CHX and PDT+S presented low bacterial growth, while OGO presented moderate bacterial growth. Conclusion: NaOCl and PDT + H presented better performance in relation to the other disinfection protocols used in this study. OGO presented moderate bacterial growth, suggesting its unviable use in endodontic disinfection protocols. (AU)

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare antibacterial and smear layer removal efficacy of the erbium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Er:YAG) laser irradiation by photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS), neodymium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Nd:YAG), and diode lasers and conventional irrigation agent in primary molar root canals. BACKGROUND: The selection, application, and activation of the irrigant are important factors affecting the success of the endodontic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Distal root canals of human primary mandibular molar teeth used for antimicrobial efficacy evaluation were first inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis (n = 25). Smear layer removal efficacy was evaluated on the noninoculated specimens (n = 20). The root canals in the first treatment groups were irrigated with a conventional technique using 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). In the laser groups, the root canals were irradiated with either Nd:YAG (1064 nm) or diode lasers (940 nm) followed by NaOCl irrigation agent. In the fourth groups, the NaOCl irrigation agent was activated with an Er:YAG laser (2940 nm) by PIPS tip using nonablative settings. Antibacterial efficacy was determined by viable counts of E. faecalis after treatments. The treated root canals were examined by scanning electron microscopy to determine the smear layer removal efficacy of treatments. RESULTS: Statistically significant (p < 0.05) reductions in the number of E. faecalis were achieved in Nd:YAG and diode laser groups and Er:YAG laser by PIPS-activated irrigation groups compared to the NaOCl group. Er:YAG laser by PIPS-activated irrigation resulted in more cleaning of the root canal walls and a higher quantity of open tubules. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that Er:YAG laser by PIPS-activated irrigation can be considered as an effective irrigant agitation technique in pediatric endodontics.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the bactericidal effect of various laser irradiation systems on Enterococcus faecalis biofilms in dentinal tubules by using a novel dentin infection model and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). BACKGROUND DATA: Laser-activated irrigations have been proposed as an adjuvant to conventional protocols of root canal treatment to enhance the smear layer removal, which is a promising protocol for root canal disinfection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: E. faecalis were centrifuged into the dentinal tubules, cultured for 3 weeks, and then received 1- and 3-min treatments as follows: (A) 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) irrigation, (B) Nd:YAG laser irradiation, (C) diode laser irradiation, (D) Nd:YAP laser irradiation, (E) Er,Cr:YSGG laser-activated NaOCl irrigation, and (F) Er:YAG laser-activated NaOCl irrigation. Bacterial reductions were assessed by CLSM using a LIVE/DEAD® bacterial viability stain method. RESULTS: For each group, the bacterial reduction increased as the treatment time increased (p < 0.05). The Er,Cr:YSGG and Er:YAG laser significantly enhanced the bactericidal effect of NaOCl (p < 0.05). Under the conditions of the same treatment time, bacterial reductions were presented in the descending order of Er:YAG + NaOCl, Er,Cr:YSGG + NaOCl > Nd:YAP > Nd:YAG, diode > NaOCl. CONCLUSIONS: Under the conditions of present study, treatments of Er:YAG + NaOCl and Er,Cr:YSGG + NaOCl presented the strongest bactericidal effect among the tested protocols and are potential protocols for root canal disinfection.

ABSTRACT: Aim: The objective of this work was to determine the concentrations of irrigating solutions and the residual content of parachloroaniline (PCA) formed after endodontic irrigation, using 5% NaOCl, 0.9% NaCl, 10% EDTA and 2% CHX 2%. Methodology Twenty premolars were used and 13 samples were collected per tooth from each of the treatment phases. Samples of: NaOCl, EDTA, CHX and PCA were quantified by UV and visible spectrophotometry. Results: Sodium hypochlorite decreased its concentration from 3.8% to 3.4% in phases 1 to 4. In phases 5, 6 and 7, residual NaOCl was measured with concentrations of 0.007%, 0.003% and 0.001% %. The concentration of EDTA decreased to 8.85% in phase 8. In phases 9, 10 and 11, irrigated with serum, EDTA was quantified with concentrations of 0.013% to 0.002% and NaOCl values of 0.0011% to 0, 0006%. In phases 12 and 13, CHX concentrations were 1.850% and 1.812% and PCA values were 0.0005% and 0.0007%. PCA formation occurred in presence of 2% CHX and residual NaClO and was detected colorimetrically in phases 12 and 13. Conclusions. During endodontic irrigation the concentration of 5% NaOCl decreases significantly in the first four phases and the concentrations of EDTA and CHX also decrease. There is PCA training in the last stages of the procedure.

The purpose of this study was to compare the antibacterial properties of Azadirachta indica (neem) or Curcuma longa (turmeric) against Enterococcus faecalis with those of 5% sodium hypochlorite or 2% chlorhexidine as root canal irrigants in vitro. The activity of neem, chlorhexidine, sodium hypochlorite, or turmeric against E. faecalis was measured on agar plates using the agar diffusion method. The tube dilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the irrigants used. Chlorhexidine or neem exhibited the greatest antibacterial activity when used as endodontic irrigants against E. faecalis, followed by sodium hypochlorite. No statistically significant difference was observed between neem, sodium hypochlorite, or chlorhexidine. The MIC of neem was 1: 128, which was similar to that of chlorhexidine. The MBC for each of these irrigants was 1: 16. Neem yielded antibacterial activity equivalent to 2% chlorhexidine or sodium hypochlorite against E. faecalis, suggesting that it offers a promising alternative to the other root canal irrigants tested.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this blind, in vivo, randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of Nd:YAG laser irradiation in endodontic treatment of single-rooted teeth with apical periodontitis. The hypothesis was that mechanical enlargement of the root canal and Nd:YAG laser irradiation would yield more negative bacterial samples than conventional treatment. METHODS: Forty-one patients (45 teeth) were allocated to the laser (n = 22) or control (n = 23) group. The teeth in the laser group were instrumented, irrigated with saline, and irradiated with Nd:YAG laser according to a standard protocol. The teeth in the control group were similarly instrumented but irrigated with 1% unbuffered sodium hypochlorite and 15% EDTA solution. Bacterial samples were taken before and after treatment, blinded, and immediately sent for culturing and analysis. RESULTS: The initial bacterial samples were positive in 20 of 22 teeth in the laser group and 18 of 23 (P = .414) in the control group. After the initial treatment, negative bacterial samples were found in 11 teeth in the laser group and 13 (P = .768) in the control group. After 2 to 4 days with no antibacterial dressing in the root canals, 5 teeth in the laser group and 9 (P = .337) in the control group yielded negative bacterial samples. CONCLUSIONS: After intervention, neither the test group nor the control group yielded predictable negative bacterial samples. Thus, the results failed to verify the hypothesis that Nd:YAG laser irradiation would yield significantly more negative bacterial samples than conventional irrigation with 1% unbuffered sodium hypochlorite solution.

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to examine the level of erosion in root dentin caused by different irrigation methods and protocols. METHODS: Thirty-five extracted upper molar teeth were instrumented and divided into 7 groups to undergo treatment by different methods: negative control, GentleWave System (Sonendo Inc, Laguna Hills, CA), and syringe needle irrigation following different protocols. The teeth were instrumented to size #25/.08 or #30/.09 for needle irrigation groups and to ProTaper size S1 for the GentleWave group under 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). The needle irrigation groups were subjected to final rinses of 2 minutes of 3% NaOCl + 2 minutes of 8% EDTA (3% N2 + 8% E2), 2 minutes of 3% NaOCl + 2 minutes of 8% EDTA + 1 minute of 3% NaOCl (3% N2 + 8% E2 + 3% N1), 2 minutes of 5% NaOCl + 2 minutes of 17% EDTA (5% N2 + 17% E2), 2 minutes of 5% NaOCl + 2 minutes of 17% EDTA + 1 minute of 5% NaOCl (5% N2 + 17% E2 + 5% N1), and 5 minutes of 5% NaOCl + 5 minutes of 17% EDTA + 5 minutes of 5% NaOCl (5% N5 + 17% E5 + 5% N5), respectively. The root canal surface was observed by scanning electron microscopy, and the dentin composition was analyzed by continuous line scanning for 300 µm into dentin using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. RESULTS: A slight but statistically significant decrease of calcium and an increase of carbon was measured in the 5% N2 + 17% E2 group in comparison with the control; no significant difference was found among GentleWave, 3% N2 + 8% E2, and 5% N2 + 17% E2 (P > .05). A final 1-minute rinse with 3% or 5% NaOCl reduced calcium and phosphorus to a significantly lower level than in groups without a 1-minute final rinse (P < .05). Final irrigation with 5% NaOCl for 5 minutes removed almost all calcium and phosphorus. Scanning electron microscopy showed canal wall erosion when an additional final irrigation with NaOCl was done. CONCLUSIONS: NaOCl followed by final EDTA irrigation performed either by syringe needle or the GentleWave System caused minimal dentin erosion. Erosion was measured as increased loss of calcium and phosphorus in samples in which additional final irrigation was performed using NaOCl after EDTA.

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this ex vivo study was to evaluate the percentage reduction of accumulated hard tissue debris (AHTD) in the mesial root canal system of mandibular molars under different final irrigation regimens by means of micro-computed tomographic imaging. METHODS: Sixty curved mesial roots of mandibular molars with 2 independent canals joint apically by an isthmus (Vertucci type II) were selected. Specimens were scanned at a resolution of 12.5 µm, anatomically matched, and distributed into 3 groups (n = 20) according to the preparation protocol: Self-Adjusting File (SAF; ReDent Nova, Ra'anana, Israel), Reciproc (VDW GmbH, Munich, Germany), and Revo-S (Micro-Mega, Besançon, France) systems. Then, each group was subdivided into 2 subgroups (n = 10) according to the final irrigation protocol with the SAF or EndoVac system (Discus Dental, Culver City, CA). The percentage volume and percentage reduction of AHTD after root canal preparation and final irrigation protocols were statistically compared using 1-way analysis of variance, the paired sample and the independent Student's t tests. The level of significance was set at 5%. RESULTS: Within groups, the mean percentage volume was significantly reduced after the final irrigation procedures in either the SAF (from 1.52%-1.78% to 1.01%-1.20%) or EndoVac (from 2.11%-2.23% to 1.31%-1.52%) subgroups (P < .05). In the experimental groups, the mean percentage reduction of AHTD ranged from 29.15%-39.90% after the irrigation protocols, with no statistical difference between groups (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS: None of the irrigation approaches succeeded in rendering the mesial root canal system free of AHTD. A similar percentage reduction of AHTD was achieved after final irrigation protocols using either the SAF or EndoVac system.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) for restoring adhesion to pulp chamber dentin treated with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and EDTA. METHODS: Sixty-three crowns of bovine incisors were cut to expose the dentin pulp chamber. The specimens were polished and randomly distributed into 9 groups (n = 7) according to the following protocols used: 0.9% sodium chloride for 30 minutes (negative control), 5.25% NaOCl for 30 minutes, 17% EDTA for 3 minutes, and 5.25% NaOCl for 1 minute (positive control). The other groups, after treatments with NaOCl and EDTA, were immersed in 0.5% or 5% Na2S2O3 for 1, 5, and 10 minutes or just immersed in an inert solution for 10 minutes (0.9% sodium chloride). After drying the specimens, Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (3M ESPE, St Paul, MN) was applied to the pulp chamber dentin followed by Filtek Z250 composite (3M ESPE). Six rectangular slabs were obtained from each specimen, and the dentin/resin interface was tested by using a universal testing machine. The resulting data were submitted to 1-way analysis of variance and the Duncan test (P = .05). RESULTS: There was a significant decrease in bond strength regarding NaOCl and EDTA (P < .05). When 5% Na2S2O3 was used for 10 minutes, the bond strength was found to be statistically equal to the negative control and higher than the positive control (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: The use of Na2S2O3 can significantly increase the bond strength of composite resin to NaOCl/EDTA-treated dentin, allowing adhesive restorations to be immediately applied after endodontic treatment.

BACKGROUND: Cleaning and shaping of root canal system requires various irrigating solutions. The question is whether the presence of irrigation solution alters working length determination using apex locators. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of Root ZX and i-Root apex locator for determining working length in the presence of different irrigating solution. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Eighty extracted single rooted human teeth were used. The teeth were sectioned at Cemento Enamel Junction (CEJ) and actual canal length determined. Then, working length measurements were obtained using Root ZX and i-Root apex locator in the presence of irrigating solutions namely 0.9% saline, 3% of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine digluconate(CHX) and 17% Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic acid (EDTA). The measurements obtained with Root ZX and i-Root apex locator were compared with actual canal length and subjected to statistical analysis using Post Hoc Test Tukey's Method. RESULTS: This study revealed that both the tested Electronic apex locators (EAL) were able to measure the canal length in the presence of tested irrigating solutions. The presence of irrigating solutions of saline, NaOCl, chlorhexidine and EDTA in the root canal marginally influenced the accuracy of the Root ZX or i-Root (P < 0.36), but with no clinical significance. CONCLUSION: Root ZX and i-Root can be used safely to determine working length in the presence of various irrigants. The content of the root canal did not influence the accuracy while measuring working length using Electronic apex locators (EAL).

The extrusion of sodium hypochlorite through the apical foramen is an accident that can occur during the flushing procedure in endodontic treatment. The symptomatology is immediate and intense, and there is a long period before the tissues return to normal. Low-level laser therapy might be useful as an adjunctive treatment for damaged soft tissues because of its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, which may reduce edema and prevent infection. In this clinical case, the accidental leakage of 1% sodium hypochlorite during the preparation of the root canal of a maxillary right central incisor is reported. This leakage caused immediate and intense pain and edema formation and resulted in an extensive necrotic area in the alveolar mucosa adjacent to the root of the treated tooth. The conventional treatment protocol was combined with low-level laser therapy. Clinical and radiographic examinations after 7 months revealed complete repair of the necrotic area with no paresthesia and further indicated the integrity of the apical region of the tooth where the extrusion of sodium hypochlorite occurred. The combination of low-level laser therapy with a conventional treatment protocol in this case of the extrusion of 1% sodium hypochlorite resulted in the healing of the wounds.

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of different irrigation protocols on the bond strength, at different root depths, of fiber posts cemented with a self-adhesive cement 24 hours after endodontic treatment. Fifty-six bovine incisor roots were endodontically prepared and separated into 7 groups (n = 8) according to irrigation protocols: group 1, sterile saline (control); group 2, chlorhexidine (CHX) gel 2% and saline; group 3, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) 5.25% and saline; group 4, CHX and saline (final irrigation with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid [EDTA] 17%); group 5, NaOCl and saline (final irrigation with EDTA); group 6, CHX and saline (final irrigation with NaOCl and EDTA); and group 7, NaOCl (final irrigation with CHX and EDTA). No statistically significant difference was found among the groups. Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that the different irrigation protocols did not influence the bond strength of self-adhesive resin cement, which presented similar behaviors at the 3 root depths studied.
