Popis: Objective: To compare in vitro irrigation systems’ efficacy in removing calcium hydroxide paste (Ca(OH)2) in single-root teeth. Methods: Sixty permanent teeth were prepared using ProTaper® rotatory instruments, up to F3. Specimens were split longitudinally into two halves, and two grooves located in the apical and coronal zones were created. Ca(OH)2 application into the grooves was assessed by radiographic and photographic methods. After the halves were reassembled in a silicone mold, teeth were randomly divided into experimental groups (n=15), testing Ca(OH)2 removal: 1 - CanalBrush™; 2 - E1 - Irrisonic tip; 3 - manual dynamic irrigation (MDI); 4 - XP-endo Finisher® (XP). A total volume of 10 mL of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite was used in each tooth. Finally, all groups were scored regarding the Ca(OH)2 remnants using the same methods as before. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Mann-Whitney U tests (with Bonferroni correction). A value of p
