Abstract:
The use of ultrasonics to increase the bactericidal efficiency of endodontic irrigation was tested on four microorganisms. Ultransonics alone had a reducing effect but coupling it with a biocidal agent led to a more efficient bactericidal synergism. A sonosynergistic system of cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system has been described.
