Özet

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).
