Abstract
Successful root canal treatment requires the complete elimination of microbial flora from root canal system. Irrigating solutions play vital role in destruction of microbes. However, interaction of various irrigating solution can be proved to be detrimental to the outcome of root canal therapy. The Purpose of this study were : (1) to evaluate the interaction between 7% maleic acid (MA) and 2% chlorhexidine gluconate solution (CHX) and to find out the availability of individual irrigant and (2) to determine the free available chlorine content when 7% MA was mixed with 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution. Results: It was observed that more than 90% free MA and CHX were available when MA was combined with CHX. It was also observed that there was no precipitate formation when 7% MA was mixed with 2% CHX. Available chlorine content decreased significantly in the MA/NaOCl mixture.
