Study Notes
Endodontic Irrigation and Medicaments: Key Points
- Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) has tissue-dissolving properties but can cause severe toxicity if forced into tissues.
- Increasing the temperature of NaOCl solutions enhances tissue-dissolution capacity but affects stability.
- Sodium Hypochlorite accidents can cause severe pain, edema, bleeding, and irritation, requiring immediate management.
- Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHX) offers substantive antimicrobial activity, low toxicity, and no foul smell or taste, but lacks tissue solvent action and action on smear layer.
- Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) releases oxygen, removing loose debris, but may cause tissue emphysema and postoperative pain.
- BioPure MTAD, a mixture of doxycycline, citric acid, and detergent, serves as an antimicrobial, lubricant, and smear layer eliminator.
- Saline does not have antimicrobial or organic solvent properties, but acts as a lubricant and is non-irritant.
- Herbal irrigants like Morinda citrifolia juice offer broad therapeutic effects including antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory effects.
- Chelating agents, such as EDTA, aid in removing the smear layer and enlarging narrow calcified canals.
- Irrigant combinations, such as CHX + NaOCl, CHX + EDTA, and NaOCl + EDTA, may have specific interactions with potential clinical implications.
- Methods of irrigation include syringe and needle irrigation, manual agitation, ultrasonic irrigation, and negative apical pressure agitation.
- Intra-canal medicaments are used for antimicrobial activity and neutralization of canal remnants between appointments.
