Abstrakt: Endodontic irrigation protocols are not only used to clean and disinfect the root canal system, but also to condition the canal wall dentine for subsequent root filling. In this study we tested whether a final irrigation step with saline solution or 80% ethanol improved root canal sealabilty by two popular sealers, an epoxy resin (AH Plus) and a hydraulic calcium silicate cement-based product (BioRoot RCS). Root canals in extracted single-rooted human teeth were instrumented and filled with a matched gutta-percha cone and sealer. During instrumentation and prior to root filling, sealer-specific irrigation protocols were applied. These involved a combined sodium hypochlorite/1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid application, which was followed by irrigation with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for AH Plus. Protocols were followed by a 5-ml ultimate rinse with saline solution or 80% ethanol. No such final rinse was the control (N = 9). Canals were then dried with matched paper points. One week after root filling and storage of the teeth at 37°C in a humid environment, Rhodamine B was used to trace leakage. Two-way ANOVA revealed that the type of sealer had a significant (P < 0.05) impact on apical dye penetration while the final rinse did not (P > 0.05). AH Plus provided the slightly better seal (P < 0.05). Leakage occurred between the sealer and the dentin with AH Plus, and between the sealer-to-dentin as well as the sealer-to-gutta-percha interface with BioRoot RCS. In summary and under current conditions, there was no benefit from applying saline or ethanol as an ultimate rinsing solution prior to drying the canal with matched paper points.
