Effect of Irrigants and Irrigating Devices on Disinfection of Root Canal System: A Systematic Review

Effect of Irrigants and Irrigating Devices on Disinfection of Root Canal System: A Systematic Review Aim:The effective delivery of irrigants into the inaccessible areas of the root canal system is the prerequisite for a proper disinfection of the root canal system. Numerous activation devices that can provide effective delivery of the irrigant and aid in the success of the root canal treatment are available. The activation of irrigants has claimed to be effective in in vitro and clinical trials. Hence, the present systematic review aims to analyze the effect of irrigants and irrigating devices in disinfecting the root canal system.Materials and Methods:A literature search was undertaken in PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. The inclusion criteria included clinical trials, both in vivo and ex vivo. The exclusion criteria included animal studies, textbooks, review articles, and case reports. The patients who required endodontic treatment along with the activation of irrigants were chosen as participants for the review.Result:The search strategy screened around 132 articles, out of which only 10 were selected for the present systematic review. The risk of bias was calculated based on the following scores: 3, high; 2, moderate; and 1, low. In the present systematic review, four articles were categorized into low-risk bias, three articles were classified as moderate risk, and three articles belonged to the high-risk category.Conclusion:The present systematic review concluded that the use of a mechanical activation device along with the irrigant will help in better removal of the smear layer and debris from the root canal system, improving the cleanliness and helping achieve more successful endodontic treatment. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Advanced Oral Research SAGE

Abstract

Aim:The effective delivery of irrigants into the inaccessible areas of the root canal system is the prerequisite for a proper disinfection of the root canal system. Numerous activation devices that can provide effective delivery of the irrigant and aid in the success of the root canal treatment are available. The activation of irrigants has claimed to be effective in in vitro and clinical trials. Hence, the present systematic review aims to analyze the effect of irrigants and irrigating devices in disinfecting the root canal system.Materials and Methods:A literature search was undertaken in PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. The inclusion criteria included clinical trials, both in vivo and ex vivo. The exclusion criteria included animal studies, textbooks, review articles, and case reports. The patients who required endodontic treatment along with the activation of irrigants were chosen as participants for the review.Result:The search strategy screened around 132 articles, out of which only 10 were selected for the present systematic review. The risk of bias was calculated based on the following scores: 3, high; 2, moderate; and 1, low. In the present systematic review, four articles were categorized into low-risk bias, three articles were classified as moderate risk, and three articles belonged to the high-risk category.Conclusion:The present systematic review concluded that the use of a mechanical activation device along with the irrigant will help in better removal of the smear layer and debris from the root canal system, improving the cleanliness and helping achieve more successful endodontic treatment.
