Sapanpuneet Kaur

Background: Success of root canal treatment depends on good biomechanical preparation. The present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of various irrigation systems in removal of debris from root canal walls. Materials & Methods: 60 freshly extracted human teeth were divided into 15 each of 4 groups. In group I, conventional irrigation with needle and syringe using saline was done. In group II, irrigation with Max-I-Probe needles using NaOCl and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and in group III, irrigant activation with Endo Activator using NaOCl and EDTA, group IV irrigation with Endovac was done. Scoring criteria was compared. Results: The mean debris score in group I was 2.7, in group II was 2.2 and in group III was 0.7, group IV was 1.2 The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: EndoActivator performed much better than other available systems. Key words: Debris, MAX-I-PROB , EndoActivator, Endovac.
