Removal of the root canal smear layer using Carisolv III and sodium hypochlorite

The present study investigated the effectiveness of a Carisolv III + 0.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)-based root canal irrigant for smear layer removal.Forty maxillary incisors were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 10 per group). The canals in group A (experimental) were prepared with 0.5% NaOCl,...

Description
Summary:The present study investigated the effectiveness of a Carisolv III + 0.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)-based root canal irrigant for smear layer removal.Forty maxillary incisors were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 10 per group). The canals in group A (experimental) were prepared with 0.5% NaOCl, and Carisolv III and 0.5% NaOCl was used for the final washing; groups B and C (positive controls) used 2% and 5.25% NaOCl, respectively; and group D (negative control) used phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was used for all of the groups. A 5-point scoring scale and scanning electron microscopy were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the irrigants. The canals were consistently cleaner in the coronal and middle thirds than in the apical thirds (P
