- Abstract
The aim of this study was to perform an integrative review to identify the most effective supplementary protocols used after filling material (FM) removal and root canal reinstrumentation, during endodontic reintervention. The literature search was performed on the electronic databases PubMed and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), using a combination of specific scientific descriptors. Selection criteria accepted articles published in English, Spanish and Portuguese languages, up to August 2021, involving in vitro and ex vivo studies. After applying the eligibility criteria, 46 articles were included for qualitative analysis. The tool for qualitative analysis of quasi-experimental studies of the Joanna Briggs Institute was used to determine the risk of bias of the included articles. The selected articles provided important data regarding the following supplementary protocols: sonic and ultrasonic activation of the irrigating solution; the use of ultrasonic inserts, XP-endo system instruments, and photon-induced photoacoustic streaming for mechanical debridement; and new devices as GentleWave system, and the self-adjusting file. Overall, all supplementary protocols demonstrated efficacy in removing the remaining FM. The implementation of various supplementary protocols can effectively remove the remaining FM from the root canal walls, although complete removal is not always achieved. However, it was not possible to determine the most effective protocol. Conversely, their association can enhance remaining FM removal. Remaining FM attached to root canal walls hinders proper chemical–mechanical preparation during endodontic reintervention. Supplementary protocols optimize the remaining FM removal, enhancing cleaning and disinfection of root canal.
