Aim: To evaluate the amount of apically extruded debris in maxillary and
mandibular canine teeth using traditional needle irrigation and sonic
irrigation methods during root canal shaping.
Summary: A total of 60 freshly extracted
human teeth, comprising 30 maxillary canines and 30 mandibular canines, were
selected. Teeth were subgrouped based on the irrigation regimes: traditional needle irrigation (n = 15) and sonic irrigation (EDDY: VDW, Munich,
Germany) (n = 15). The canals were shaped with the ProTaper
Next system (PTN: Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) X1 (17/0.04), X2
(25/0.06), and X3 (30/0.07). An articulator was used to simulate the clinical
position of the mandible and maxilla. The Eppendorf tubes, where the debris and
distilled water are collected, were placed in an incubator set to 37 °C for 14 days to allow for the evaporation of
distilled water. Following the incubation period, all tubes were reweighed 3 times, as done before the experiment, and the
average values were recorded. The weight of the debris was then determined by
subtracting the preoperative weight of each tube from its postoperative weight.
Data analysis was conducted using a two-way ANOVA.
Key Learning
Point:
·
No statistical difference was
found between the lower and upper jaws and subgroups in terms of the amount of
debris extruding from the apical (P > .05).
