canal treatment and examine the impact of heat and agitation techniques on its performance. Methodology: In this study, 160 single-rooted, straight mandibular premolars were prepared using ProTaper Next rotary files up to X4. Following preparation, samples were randomly branched into 10 groups of 16 teeth each. 5.25% calcium hypochlorite was used at 3 different temperatures: non-heated, preheated, and intracanal heated. As agitation techniques XP-Endo Finisher, EDDY and Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation were used. The teeth were divided into 2 longitudinal sections and examined under a scanning electron microscope at x1000 magnification. The control group exhibited the highest smear layer retention in all regions, while the intra-canal heated PUI group provided the most effective cleaning in all areas. The results showed that heating calcium hypochlorite and using agitation techniques is more effective for smear layer removal. Results: -Agitation techniques improve smear layer removal. -Increasing irrigant temperature is an efficient method for smear layer removal. -Calcium hypochlorite represents a novel solution that requires further investigation through in vitro and in vivo studies to fully elucidate its potential.
