Abstract

Because endodontic pathology is caused due to bacterial contamination of the root canal system, endodontic treatment should focus on eliminating microorganisms in root canals. For more than 70 years Calcium Hydroxide has an important role in antimicrobial endodontic therapy. The use of calcium hydroxide is limited by the incomplete removal thereof, a residue covering 20% to 45% of the ductal wall, even after irrigation with NaOCl or EDTA. This study aims to evaluate the removal of calcium hydroxide in root canals using two different techniques.

Keywords: calcium hydroxide; root canal; NaOCl; endo block
