RESUMO
O objetivo do estudo foi verificar ex vivo a penetração de duas substâncias irrigantes hipoclorito de sódio 5% e Chlor-Xtra® (Vista Dental Products, Racine, WI) através da adição de corante em canais simulados de dentes clarificados. Sessenta caninos inferiores unirradiculares humanos foram utilizados. As raízes foram seccionados em 16mm e instrumentadas com limas rotatórias do sistema Protaper® até a F2 no comprimento de trabalho de 15mm. As amostras foram submetidas ao processo de clarificação para ficarem transparentes e durante o processo foram criados os canais simulados no terço apical. As raízes foram divididas aleatoriamente em três grupos ( NaOCl 5%, Chlor-Xtra® e água) contendo 20 espécime por grupo. As amostras foram irrigadas com 1,5mL de solução contraste( tinta chinesa junto com a solução irrigante do respectivo grupo). E cada amostra foi fotografada e analisada. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente pelos testes Kruskal-Wallis e Student-Neuman-Keuls. Não houve diferença estatística entre as substâncias irrigantes testadas (p>0,05). A partir da análise dos dados, foi possível concluir que apesar da presença de agentes surfactantes na solução irrigante de Chlor-Xtra® não houve uma melhor penetrabilidade nos canais simulados em comparação ao hipoclorito de sódio(NaOCl).
The aim of this work was to asses ex vivo penetration of two irrigation substances sodium hypochlorite 5% and Chlor-Xtra ® (Vista Dental Products, Racine, WI) by the addition of dye in simulated canals from cleared teeth. Sixty single-rooted human mandibular canines were used. Roots length was standardized to 16 mm and root canal shaping was performed to a working length of 15 mm using Protaper Universal rotary files (Maillefer) up to F2 corresponding to a 25/.08 size/taper. The samples were cleared using clearing technique and and simulated canals were created in apical third at the time of process. Roots were randomly divided into three groups (5% NaOCl, Chlor-Xtra ® and water) containing 20 specimens per group. Samples were irrigated with 1.5 mL of contrast solution (Chinese ink and irrigating substance of the group). And each sample was photographed and analyzed. Data were statistically analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis and Student-Neuman-Keuls tests. No statistical difference between the tested irrigating solutions was found (p> 0.05). From the data analysis, we conclude that in despite of the presence of surfactants in the irrigating solution Chlor-Xtra® did not result better penetration into simulated canals than sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).

The aim of this study was to substitute costly and hazardous compound- xylene, used as clearing agent, with less costly compounds (mixture of xylene and kerosene) having less toxicity and without compromising the cellular integrity and staining characteristics of the sections. Tissues (liver and kidney) obtained from a presumable healthy adult Wistar rat, were fixed in 10 percent formol saline, separated in to five groups (A, B, C, D and E) and processed for light microscopic study adopting H & E staining procedure. During the clearing section, groups A, B, C, D and E were respectively cleared in solvent 1 (xylene only), solvent 2 (70ml xylene : 30ml kerosene), solvent 3 (50ml xylene : 50ml kerosene), solvent 4 (30ml xylene : 70ml kerosene) and solvent 5 (kerosene only). Our result revealed that tissues in groups A, B and C were properly cleared without any morphological impairment. The staining characteristics were also observed to be very bright. Groups D and E however presented poor staining intensity with reduced cellular details. Semi-stained transparent patches were also noticed. It is inferred from the present investigation that a mixture of xylene and kerosene could be employed in the clearing of tissues only at the prescribed ratio i.e. solvent 2 and solvent 3 without posing any health risk or compromising the cellular integrity.
El objetivo de este estudio fue el de sustituir el costoso y peligroso compuesto xileno, utilizado como agente de aclaramiento, por un compuesto menos costoso (mezcla de kerosene y xileno), con menor toxicidad y sin comprometer la integridad celular ni las características de tinción de las secciones. Los tejidos (hígado y riñon) fueron obtenidos a partir de una rata Wistar adulta presumiblemente sana, los que fueron fijados en solución de formalina salina al 10 por ciento, y separadas en cinco grupos (A, B, C, D y E) y tratadas para estudio con microscópico de luz, con tinción H & E. Durante el aclaramiento de las secciones histológicas, los grupos A, B, C, D y E, fueron, respectivamente, aclarados con el disolvente 1 (sólo xileno), solvente 2 (70ml de xileno: 30ml Kerosene), solvente 3 (50ml de xileno: 50ml Kerosene), solvente 4 (30ml xileno: 70ml kerosene) y solvente 5 (sólo el kerosene). Los resultados revelaron que los tejidos de los grupos A, B y C fueron aclarados correctamente sin alteraciones morfológicas. En la tinción también se observó como característica, ser muy brillante. Los grupos D y E, sin embargo presentaron una tinción de pobre intensidad con la reducción de los detalles celulares. Zonas con manchas semitransparentes también fueron observadas. Se infiere que una mezcla de xileno y kerosene podría ser empleado en el aclaramiento de los tejidos, sólo prescrito en la proporción del solvente 2 y 3, sin suponer ningún riesgo para la salud o comprometer la integridad celular.
