| Abstract | |
One of the main goals of root canal treatment is the cleaning of the entire root canal system, through removal of pulpal debris, smear layer and smear plugs in order to avoid harbor bacteria or bacterial by-products, providing a reservoir of potential irritants in treated root canal. In addition, the cleansers and irrigation methods used in the endodontic treatment, can also contribute with the smear layer removal and with permeability alterations. Thus, the aims of this Thesis was: (1) to discuss the efficacy of some cleansers, as well as the influence of two irrigation systems used during endodontic preparation of primary and permanent teeth (manual or ultrasonic vibration) with regard to root dentin permeability, based on a literature reviewing; (2) to correlate the dye permeability to morphological aspect (presence or absence of smear layer) of the primary root dentin wall, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), regarding the endodontic preparation and irrigation methods. Based on literature review (1) it can be concluded that among the solutions used for permanent teeth, all solutions and associations studied increased the dentin permeability. There was no difference in the dentin permeability when comparing manual and ultrasonic irrigation. There are not enough papers focusing primary teeth on this subject to definitely establish the patterns of increased dentin permeability in tooth root canal treatment regarding the irrigating solutions and irrigation systems. The results of the second study showed that manual irrigation technique was better than ultrasonic one and that Dakin's liquid, Dakin's liquid associated with hydrogen peroxide, and saline solution showed the highest permeability index averages values. Regarding the correlation study, it could be concluded that the smear layer presence on the root dentin walls was a limiting factor to dye penetration (Permeability Index), in middle third for manual irrigation.
