- Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of Carisolv as chemical reagent on root canal cleanness in chemomechanical preparation. METHODS: Sixty extracted teeth which were dyed with methylene blue were randomly divided into 3 groups, different chemical reagents were applied in different groups. The optical density of methylene blue in irrigating solution were measured with UV-VIS spectrophotomer after preparation with each file, the root canal cleanness was evaluated under SEM. Two-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis H test in SPSS 11.5 software package were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: There were significant differences in the optical density between the root canals treated with Carisolv and those with 2% tosylchloramide sodium plus 3% hydrogen peroxide (P<0.05), no significant difference was found in optical density between the root canals treated with Carisolv and those with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (P>0.05). The results of SEM were consistent with those of the optical density of methylene blue. CONCLUSIONS: As a chemical reagent, the cleaning ability of Carisolv was as effective as 2.5% sodium hypochlorite. Carisolv can remove the smear layer and debris, without causing excessive demineralization.
