 The Aims of the Endodontic Treatment
1. Treatment ……
Remove and kill all microorganisms
2. Prevention
By bacteria- tight seal obturation & coronal restoration
guarantee healing of
periapical lesions

How to achieve the aims of endodontic treatment ??
By root canal instrumentation
Two primary goals for root canal instrumentation :
1. To provide a biological environment that is conducive to healing
2. To provide a canal shape that is conformable to sealing.
John T. McSpadden
Can mechanical canal preparation alone provides a biological
environment that is conduce to healing ?
No
• Khartoum-Sudan

mechanical canal preparation can’t provides a biological
environment that is conduce to healing…
Challenges
 Complexities of root canal anatomy
 Metallurgy of Endodontic Files
Until now no endodontic files can prepare
all the pulp canal system configuration
without a fear of file separation ,
Canal transportation or perforation
Why???

“Of all the phases of anatomic study in the
human system, one of the most complex is that of
the pulp cavity morphology “ Barret 1925

environment that is conduce to healing…Why???
conclusions
 Inability of shaping tools in acting within the anatomical
complexity of the root canal.
 Preparation of oval, flattened, or irregular shaped
cross-sectional root canals using different instruments has
shown to leave unprepared extensions or recesses which
can harbor remnants of necrotic pulp tissue and biofilm.

Roland Ordinola -Zapata
 Using high-resolution computed tomography; it was found that
35–53% of the root canal surface remained uninstrumented

What endodontic files do?
Spreading and flushing the irrigant throughout the canal space acts mechanically and
chemically on remnants of necrotic pulp tissue and bacterial
communities colonizing the canal.

Objectives Factors affective

An effective antimicrobial and proteolytic agent , excellent organic
tissue solvent , and lubricant with fairly quick effect
 Concentration
0.5 to 6 %. It was proven that the lower and
higher concentrations are equally efficient in
reducing the number of bacteria in infected
root canal system but the tissue-dissolving
effect is directly related to the concentration.
 Volume More critical for disinfection than concentration
NaOCI will inactivate its components very fast, so
fresh irrigating solution should be added to the canal
system constantly.

 Time
Misinterpreted
….. show bacterial killed in 30 min /0.5 % NaOCI
….. higher concentrations need only 30 s
Some articles
• Khartoum-Sudan
April. 2020
It is important to remember
 organic matter, inflammatory exudates, tissue
remnants, and microbial biomass consumes
NaOCI and weakens its effect.
 The chlorine ion, which is responsible for the
dissolving and antibacterial capacity of NaOCI,
is unstable and consumed rapidly during the
first phase of tissue dissolution, probably
within 2 min, ….. Refreshment
 The greater the initial concentration of the NaOCI,
the smaller the reduction of its pH

)
 Effect on Dentin 22 % organic material by weight
NaOCI solutions may affect mechanical dentin properties
via the degradation of organic dentin component
 Depth of Penetration 77 and 300 μm
depends on
concentration

Efficiency improvement
 Temperature elevations….Warning NaOCI 10℃ temperature
rise….45℃
 Activation ……. Ultrasonic or Sonic activation efficiency & also by indirectly
temperature
 Refreshment ……. Keeping the % at high level to compensate the buffering effect of
remnant tissues, microorganisms, pus ,blood & dentin structures
 Exposure (Retention) Time ……. Contact time with the canal wall efficiency

Important clinical points
NaOCI should remain the primary irrigant.
EDTA effective against cell-rich/EPS-poor biofilms.
CHX did not remove biofilm.
the concert effects of multiple instruments,
high volume of irrigation,
and long retention time of NaOCI irrigant had a
positive influence on intracanal disinfection during
chemomechanical preparation
conclusion

)
 Limitations
 Toxicity
 Nonsubstantive
 Ineffective in smear layer removal
 Corrosion & Discoloration
 Unpleasant odor.
 Negative effect on sealer / dentine bonding
when used as a final rinse
• Khartoum-Sudan

)
 2.5-6% NaOCI in concentrations must be used during the whole
cleaning and shaping procedure.
 Pulp chamber must used as a reservoir of fresh irrigant
 Activation is very important to improve the efficiency of NaOCI

Summary
The most important Clinical Factors
 Concentration
 Volume
 Retention Time
 The most important irrigant in endodontic treatment
 The only irrigant capable in dissolving and removing
- Organic tissues( pulp tissues)
- Biofilm ( destroy Microorganisms)
- Organic substances of the smear layers

Chlorhexidine Gluconate
CHX 2%
• Khartoum-Sudan
April. 2020
 Depending on its concentration, %CHX …. Bactericidal … damaging the cell membrane
% CHX…. Bacteriostatic … causing low - molecular -
weight substances ( eg.potassium) to leak
out from the cell membrane without the
cell being permanently damaged
.
0.2 % … mouthwash
2% ..irrigate

• Khartoum-Sudan
April. 2020
CHX 2%
Substantivity
Reversible reaction ( uptake and release) of CHX by oral mucosa and teeth substances
( hydroxyapatite )leads to substantive antimicrobial activity (week – month),
…. Depends on
 Concentration………………. % substantive antibacterial effects.
 Exposure (retention) time….. ET substantive antibacterial effects
Inhibitions of Matrix Metalloproteinases ( MMPs)
CHX is potent inhibitor of MMPs ,this improves the dentin- sealer bonding
Two important factors as far as CHX2% irrigant are concerned

• Khartoum-Sudan
April. 2020
CHX 2%
Disinfection ability
NaOCI is more active than. 2% CHX. ,,
because;-
- CHX can’t destroy and dissolve biofilm
, bacteria & organic tissues.
- NaOCI reduce endotoxins levels better
than CHX
Using CHX as a final irrigant ( if pusher in periapical area)
may delay healing of apical periodontitis

• Khartoum-Sudan
April. 2020
CHX 2%
1. In teeth with open apices or perforation where
there is a risk to extrude NaOCI.
2. When maximal antimicrobial effect is desirable
as a final rinse after EDTA to further facilitate
disinfection( Heavy infected & Retreatment Cases ..potent action
against E faecalis)
and to improve dentin bonding
Clinical Recommendations
2% CHX is an alternative irrigant but it certainly can’t replace NaOCI

 The combination of NaOCI and CHX produces
a toxic precipitate.
 The reaction is dependent of the concentration of NaOCI.
 The higher the concentration of NaOCI the larger
the precipitate

Objectives
Mechanical effect in
removing debris / smear layers
Neutralizes the effects
of other irrigants
Help Sealer adhesion

Strong Agents Weak Agents
EDTA Etidronate (HEDP)
Citric acid
Maleic acid
Classified according to chelation ability
Characteristics Factors as far as endodontic irrigation is concerned:-
- Disinfection &Cleaning ability by dissolving inorganic Substances
and detach biofilms adhering to root canal walls.
- Help dentin / sealer adhesion

Chelating Agents

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid
EDTA
 EDTA alone normally cannot remove the smear layer
effectively; a proteolytic component, such as NaOCI,
must be added to remove the organic
components of the smear layer.
 EDTA is normally used in a concentration of 17 %
and can remove the smear layer when in direct
contact with the root canal wall for 1 -2 mins .
 EDTA is helpful when used in negotiating narrow, tortuous ,
calcified canals to establish patency

Khartoum-Sudan

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid
EDTA
 EDTA must not be used as primary, first or last irrigant
due to it’s corrosive ability to dentin--
 EDTA …increased success rate for Retreatment
 EDTA ….Is markedly superior in dissolving root canal sealers
than NaOCI

Combination of EDTA /NaOCI/CHX
Khartoum-Sudan
April. 2020
CHX was found to form a salt ( white precipitate with
EDTA rather than undergoing a chemical reaction
 EDTA retained its calcium-complex ability when mixed with NaOCI
 EDTA caused NaOCI to lose its tissue-dissolving capacity, with virtually
no free chlorine detected in the combinations.

1-Preparation
 One capsule / 10ml 2.5% NaOCI
 Mixing time ….1-2 min using cement. Spatula
for stirring( until clear solution prepared
 Concentration of 5% NaOCI or more must be used
 The mixture must not be heated even for short
time ( become unstable & active chlorine quickly lost.

2- Clinical Procedures
 during canal preparation, the pulp chamber & canal must be
flooded with the mixture ( continuous irrigation with
continuous chelating action
 Activate the solution with sonic / ultrasonic .
 The mixture has a good hemostatic effect in bleeding canal
and maintenance beaching effect of NaOCI in blood-stained dentin.
 If bubbles rise from the canal ( reaction of chlorine ion & organic substances) ,renew
the irrigant and activate it or leaved to act passively until bubble disappeared.
 Revascularization treatment (incomplete root development) it recommended to used ,17%
EDTA, 10% Citric acid or 18% HEDP ( diluted in sterile saline
…one capsule / 5 ml saline) as a final irrigant
 The duration and amount of the irrigant depend on the
degree of infection and complexity of the root canal anatomy
