    Area of Science:

    • Endodontics
    • Dental Research
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Effective root canal cleaning and disinfection are critical for successful endodontic therapy.
    • Traditional irrigation protocols face challenges in completely eliminating intracanal bacteria and debris.
    • Advancements in endodontic irrigation aim to improve procedural efficacy and patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current research and literature on endodontic irrigation.
    • To identify trends in endodontic irrigation techniques and technologies.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of different irrigants in achieving the goals of endodontic irrigation.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic literature search of relevant databases.
    • Analysis of peer-reviewed articles published within the last decade.

  • Comparative evaluation of irrigant properties and clinical applications.

    • Main Results:

    • Various irrigants, including sodium hypochlorite and EDTA, demonstrate distinct antimicrobial and tissue-dissolving properties.
    • Newer irrigation techniques, such as ultrasonic and sonic activation, enhance irrigant penetration and efficacy.
    • Challenges remain in achieving complete smear layer removal and disinfection in complex root canal anatomies.

    Conclusions:

    • Current trends favor irrigants and activation methods that maximize disinfection and minimize procedural complications.
    • Further research is needed to optimize irrigation protocols for diverse clinical scenarios.
    • Improved endodontic irrigation strategies are essential for enhancing the long-term success of root canal treatment.
