Impact of Smear Layer Removal Using Etidronate- and EDTA-Based Irrigation Protocols on Root Canal Microbiota: An In Vivo Study [PDF]
Background: The effective elimination of root canal microbiota is essential for the treatment of apical periodontitis. The smear layer formed during instrumentation limits the penetration of irrigants into dentinal tubules, making chelation a critical ...

Effect of Dual Rinse HEDP on the push-out bond strength of AH Plus and AH Plus Bioceramic sealers: an in vitro study [PDF]
Background The adhesion of root canal sealers to dentin is critical for preventing microleakage and ensuring long-term endodontic success. Irrigating agents influence dentin surface characteristics and thus affect sealer bond strength.
