Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the effects of experimental ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) pastes at 10%, 15%, and 20%, and with 0.2% cetrimide on smear layer formation on apical root canal walls prepared by rotary nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) files, in comparison to a commercial product (RC-Prep).


Materials and Methods: Experimental EDTA pastes at 10%, 15%, and 20% were prepared with or without addition of 0.2% cetrimide; RC-Prep was used as a control. Eighty-four root canals in maxillary premolars were prepared using rotary Ni-Ti files (WaveOneÒGold), with one of the EDTA pastes used as a lubricant, n=12 of each. NaOCl at 2.5% was used as an irrigation. The roots were sectioned to investigate smear layer formation at apical root level using scanning electron microscopy. Smear layer was scored from 1 to 5 following the degree of formation (lowest to highest).


Results: Heavy smear layer formation at the apical root level (scores 4-5) was observed at the root canal walls in all experimental EDTA pastes and RC-Prep, which were not significantly different (p > 0.05). 


Conclusion: Increase in EDTA concentration or addition of 0.2% cetrimide did not reduce smear layer formation at apical root canal walls prepared by rotary Ni-Ti files.
