Excerpt

Microorganisms and their products are etiologic factors in pulp and periapical pathologies. The success of endodontic therapy relies on efficient disinfection of the root canal system and prevention of recontamination [1]. Still, studies show that even meticulous instrumentation and irrigation with NaOCl cannot render the canal bacteria free, mainly due to the presence of lateral canals, ramifications, and apical deltas [2, 3]. Furthermore, bacteria penetrate into the deeper layers of root dentin [3], which are not accessible to irrigating agents [4]. …
