Abstract

Elimination of residual microorganisms and their effects before placement of restorative materials after cavity preparation increase the longevity of the restoration and the success of the treatment. Complete destruction of bacteria during cavity preparation can mechanically weaken the tooth structure as well as affect the vitality of the pulp. Therefore, disinfection of the cavity after caries removal can help prevent secondary caries and postoperative sensitivity by eliminating residual bacteria. However, the effects of disinfectants on restorative materials are being investigated in studies.This review aims to provide information about the effects / efficacy of cavity disinfectants used in restorative dentistry through a review of the current literature review and to assist dentists in making clinical decisions about using cavity disinfectants during restorative procedures.
