Abstract
Super-Oxidized Water against Conventional Irrigants in Smear Layer Removal using Endovac Irrigating System: A Scanning Electron Microscopic Study
Highlights
Friedman's test showed that there is no significant difference in the removal of the smear layer from each third of the canal in Gowrish S, Urvashi Sodvadiya, Vandana Sadananda
Rathakrishnan et al showed no significant difference between super-oxidized water and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for removal of smear layer
[21] Hydroxyl ions (OH-) released from sodium hydroxide increases pH and stability of the solution. It flushes out the debris and cleanses the root canals due to its detergent action which is supported by Dube et al; 2018.[22]. According to Hata et al; 2001, chloride ions (Cl-) released from oxidative potential water removed the inorganic content of smear layer
Summary
Meticulous debridement and thorough disinfection of the root canal space is crucial for successful endodontic treatment This can be achieved by qualitative mechanical instrumentation (using hand and rotary system) and effective irrigation. Super-oxidized water (OXUM, Alkem Labs, Mumbai, India), a novel endodontic irrigantis an electrochemically processed aqueous solution. Since it isrich in reactive oxygen species, it is a potent antimicrobial solution that is available for use in medicine as well as in the dental. Super-Oxidized Water against Conventional Irrigants in Smear Layer Removal using Endovac Irrigating System: A Scanning Electron Microscopic Study. Hencethe present study was aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of a commercially available super-oxidized water in smear layer removal with the gold standard using the EndoVac irrigating system
