Improving the disinfection of lateral microcanals in endodontic dental treatment
We studied the penetration depth of an antiseptic introduced in the dentin of the tooth by using various methods. An in vitro experiment was performed to determine effective parameters of ultraphonophoresis and electrophoresis, providing the maximum-diffusion antiseptic Decasan in the dentin of the tooth. Compared with the control, three physiotherapy sessions of the root canal significantly increased in-depth penetration in single-rooted teeth. The inclusion of Decasan in the endodontic treatment of patients with chronic apical periodontitis for drug processing the root canal irrigation system is effective because it promotes deep diffusion of antiseptic solution in dentinal tubules.
