- Abstract
The main objectives of root canal therapy are cleaning, shaping and obturating the canal system in three dimensions and preventing reinfection. So the irrigation is important part of a root canal treatment as it allows for cleaning beyond the reach of root canal instruments. Inadequate irrigation or instrumentation without irrigation increases the accumulation of debris on the cutting surfaces of instruments as well as debris and smear layer on root canal walls. In this review article, comparison of MTAD (mixture of tetracycline citric acid and detergent) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as irrigating material in endodontics is made.
