Abstract :

Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of routinely used irrigating solutions and herbal extracts on fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth. Material & Methods: A total of 60 mandibular incisors were acquired and instrumented using ProTaper nickel-titanium (Dentsply- Maillefer) rotary files till size apical size 30 (F3).These instrumented samples were then randomly divided (n=10), and different irrigating solutions were used;Group I NORMAL SALINE as negative control ,Group II 5 %NAOCL as positive control, Group III 2% CHLORHEXIDINE, Group IV 3% NAOCL , Group V 10% NEEM extract , Group VI 10% turmeric extract. Thereafter, the root canals were filled by using single gutta-percha cone (size/percentage of taper) and AH Plus (company name, city, country) root canal sealer. The specimens were then prepared and loaded vertically at 1 mm/min crosshead speed until vertical root fracture occurred. Results were evaluated statistically with 1-way analysis of variance and Student�s t test. Results: Statistically significant differences were detected among the groups (P < .05). The highest mean fracture resistance was obtained from the group treated with 5% NAOCL for 5 minutes followed by 3% NAOCL, 10 % Neem, 2% CHX, 0.9% Normal Saline, 10 % Turmeric. Conclusions: The fracture resistance of endodontically treated roots were found to be differently affected by the various irrigating solution.Clinical significance:root canal irrigants also play important role in fracture resistance of teeth.
