atively superficial. In the more apical part of the root canal, most of the pulp tissue will be vital and free of bacteria at this
point of the disease6.
Due to this microbial aetiology of pulpitis, it is clear that the treatment of irreversible pulpitis, in other words the treatment of vital
cases, should focus on prevention of infection rather than an elimination of intraradicular infection4. As the apical part of the root
canal system is bacteria free, the aim is asepsis7. Under clinical conditions, the easiest and by far the most efficient methods to
guarantee asepsis during endodontic treatment are coronal disinfection of the tooth and mandatory use of rubber dam. Moreover,
sterilised burs and root canal instruments must be used, gloves must be worn, and the root canal obturation should if possible be
performed at the first visit68. Thus the pulpectomy procedure is basically aimed at preventing the development of a pulpal infection
and thereby preventing the development of an apical periodontitis6.
In contrast, in cases with radiographic and/or clinical signs of an apical periodontitis there can no longer be any doubts that the root
canal system harbours microorganisms6,911. There is over-whelming evidence that periradicular diseases are caused by
microorganisms in the necrotic root canal12. Hence, antisepsis must be the aim of ther-apy in order to eliminate all microbes within
the root canal system7. In cases of infected root canals, the key factor for clinical success and thus for promoting healing of the
apical periodontitis is efficient, and theoretically the complete, removal of intraradicular microorganisms13. Whether or not there is
a direct correlation between the number of viable microbes remaining in the root canal at the time of obturation and the outcome of
the thera-py remains controversial. Some studies have shown a significantly poorer prognosis for cases of apical periodontitis if
viable bacteria remain in the canal at the time of filling14,15. This finding has been sup-ported by a clinical study indicating that the
treat-ment outcome was significantly better in cases with apical periodontitis after intraradicular dress-ing versus one-visit
treatment14,15. On the other hand, a recent study failed to show any difference in residual microorganisms between one- and twovisit treatment16, an observation that is in agree-

In general, endodontic infection can be divided into primary (primary apical periodontitis) or secondary root canal infection
(previously root-filled teeth with apical periodontitis). In general, primary root canal infection is characterised by strictly anaerobic
bacteria and is typically polymicrobial12,1820. Predominant species are Bacteroides,
Campylobacter12. Facultative streptococci are also commonly found in primary infection12. In general, about 110 different microbial
species have been de-tected in the root canal system in cases of apical pe-riodontitis; less than 1015 different species can be
expected in a single tooth12. In chronic periapical le-sions, the range of microbial species encountered is wider compared with a
more restricted number of species in cases of acute apical periodontitis or acute periapical abscess12,21,22.
Secondary intraradicular infection is usually caused by microbes that are not normally present in primary infection and have entered
the root canal system during or after endodontic treatment12. If these microorganisms are successful in colonising the root canal
system and survive the prevailing local conditions, a secondary infection becomes estab-lished. The composition of intraradicular
flora in sec-ondary infection is quite different from that found in primary infection. Usually, in the former, the flora is dominated by a
single species, or by fewer species when compared with primary infection12. In fact, monoinfection is not common in primary
infection4. Gram-positive bacteria predominate in secondary in-fection and fungi can also often be found12,2326. Sometimes
Enterococcus faecalis is found in pure culture in previously root-filled teeth with persistent apical periodontitis2528.
In approximately 8595% of all cases, the infec-tion is restricted to the root canal system containing necrotic pulp tissue 4,6,12; they are

significant role in the pathogenesis of apical periodontitis 6 confirmed the need for
a root canal irrigant capable of neutralis-ing lipopolysaccharides.
Microbes can also reside in the root canal system within the smear layer. This is
a thin surface film formed on the root canal wall after instrumentation. A smear
layer is produced on areas touched by root canal instruments. The smear layer
consists of den-tine particles, bacterial components, and remnants of vital or
necrotic pulp tissue42,43. Due to these organ-ic remnants, the microbes have easy
access to nutri-ents inside the smear layer. Therefore, it is clear that in infected
cases the smear layer should be ren

to Na+ and OCl-, the hypochlorite ion. Between pH 4 and pH 7, chlorine from
NaOCl exists predomi-nantly as HClO (hypochlorous acid), whereas above
pH 9, OCl- predominates4,59. Although the antimi-crobial effectiveness of
hypochlorous acid is greater than that of hypochlorite59, in the clinically used
NaOCl solutions, the entire available chlorine is in the form of OCl-, as the
NaOCl dissolves pulpal remnants (vital and necrotic pulp tissue), organic
compounds of dentine, and the organic components of the smear layer6569.
The tissue-dissolving capability of NaOCl is signifi-cantly better than all other
commonly used irrig-ants65 (Fig 4). Moreover, neutralisation or inactiva-tion
of lipopolysaccharides has been reported with NaOCl7072. However, NaOCl
is not able to remove the smear layer73,74.
Sodium hypochlorite is characterised by having strong antibacterial activity
with comparably short contact times4,7. Even the resistant Candida albi-cans
was killed in vitro by both 5% and 0.5% NaOCl solutions75. Several in vitro

. It was found that a 1% solution at 45C dissolved pulp tissue as effectively as 5.25% NaOCl at 20C, and a 1% solution at 60C was
significantly more effective than an un-heated full-strength solution 86.
Warmed solutions also exhibited significantly greater antimicrobial efficacy compared with unheated solutions. A 100-fold in-crease in the killing of
E. faecalis was observed be-tween corresponding NaOCl solutions (1%,
2.62%, and 5.25%) at 20C and at 45C86. It seems reason-able to use
lower concentration NaOCl solutions in order to ensure a good margin of
safety, but its ef-fectiveness may be improved by warming the solution7,88. It must be kept in mind that NaOCl solution once heated but not
used must be discarded, as its effectiveness will be exhausted90.

open to debate. Unfortu-

The volume of irrigant is also clinically relevant. The scientific evidence on this matter is
sparse. However, an increase in the volume of the irrigant used is corre-lated with a
reduction of intraradicular microorganisms and improved canal cleanliness 93,94.
Yamada et al73 recommended at least 1020 ml of irrigant for each canal, followed by a
final high volume flush after the shaping procedure has been completed (Table 1).
nately, data are limited7 and most studies are not representative of the clinical situation. In a biofilm mod-el
using C. albicans, both 1% and 5% NaOCl need-ed 60
minutes to kill all the microbes. After only 30 minutes,
The chemical stability and activity of NaOCl so-lutions may be adversely affected
by many fac-tors95. Piskin and Turkun95 conducted a study on the stability of
various NaOCl solutions and pointed out that all solutions showed degradation
with time. High-concentration NaOCl (5%) decom-posed far more rapidly when
stored at 24C com-pared with 0.5% NaOCl. Solutions containing 0.5% and 5%
chlorine stored at 4C displayed sat-isfactory stability at 200 days95. Therefore it is
rec-ommended to store NaOCl solutions in a refrigera-

CHX solutions in concentrations of 0.22% are considered toxicologically safe 99,100. For
instance, a 2% solution has been used as a subgingival irrigant without any adverse
effects101. In an animal study on rats, the root canals of teeth with experimentally induced apical periodontitis were temporarily filled with 2% CHX gel 102. Histological
evaluations after 7 days
18
revealed that the use of CHX resulted in good periapi-cal regeneration and no
102
irrigation103. A more re-cent study also confirmed the biocompatibility of 2% CHX 104.
CHX was injected into the peritoneal cavity of mice and the inflammatory response
was evaluated. CHX was found to be biocompatible since this solution did not
induce a significant inflammatory response104.
Although sensitivity to CHX is rare65, there are reports that CHX has the
potential to cause anaphy-lactic reactions105 and even anaphylactic
shock65. Hypersensitivity reactions described in the literature include
contact dermatitis and photosensitivity. Both application of CHX to mucous
membranes and to intact skin can cause allergic reactions. Therefore it is
important to remember this potential risk of CHX.
Alle
Due to its cationic properties, CHX can bind to dentine and enamel113,114 and is
gradually released over time. Owing to this phenomenon of substantiv-ity, which has
not been observed with any other irri-gant, CHX has prolonged antimicrobial
activity7,60. After 10 minutes of irrigation, a prolongation of the antimicrobial effect of
about 12 weeks was ob-served115. Hence, CHX is the only irrigant whose antimicrobial effect outlasts the duration of irrigation.
h
Although not yet fully understood, the combina-tion of CHX and hydrogen
peroxide was reported to be better at killing E. faecalis in dentinal tubules compared with NaOCl or CHX alone116. In a further study, the observation of

Unlike NaOCl, CHX does not possess any tissuedissolving ability4,120, and is unable to remove the smear
layer or neutralise lipopolysaccharides, which are obvious
benefits of NaOCl. It is only because of these differences
that CHX cannot be a substitute for NaOCl as the gold
standard of root canal irrig-ants. Also, CHX seems to be
less effective against Gram-negative bacteria (which

tissue-dissolving action as long as the canal was rinsed with NaOCl during
mechanical prepara-tion130,131. It is interesting that MTAD displayed good
tissue-dissolving capability only when NaOCl was used during
instrumentation131. Therefore, the clinical recommendation is to use 1.3%
NaOCl during instrumentation, followed by MTAD as a fi-nal irrigation. MTAD
seems to be less cytotoxic than 3% H2O2, 5.25% NaOCl, CHX mouth wash,
and EDTA, but more cytotoxic than 2.63% and 1.31% NaOCl132. Moreover,
MTAD seems to ad-versely influence the physical properties of dentine or the
bonding strength of adhesives to den-
tine133,134.
A preliminary report found the alternating use of NaOCl and
MTAD might potentially cause iatrogenic tetracycline staining
of teeth140. Another concern is the high concentration of tetracycline in MTAD; resistance to tetracycline is not uncommon among bac-teria isolated from root
canals141. In fact, a higher in-cidence of tetracycline-resistant bacteria must be

canal cleanliness is improved. Secondly, it has been shown that the removal of
the smear layer improves the antimicrobial effect of intraradicular medica-ments
in the deeper layer of dentine34,160. Therefore, either EDTA or citric acid should
be included in the ir-rigation regimen (Table 1).
Rinsing the root canal with alcohol before obturation has been anecdotally
practised161. The basic premise is that alcohol reduces the surface tension of
irrigants and root canal sealers162. Lowering the surface ten-sion of a fluid or a
sealer will increase the fluid flow into the dentinal tubules. Thus alcohol will spread
into the dentinal tubules and dry the root canal as it evaporates. Therefore alcohol
might affect sealer penetration and leakage of the root canal filling. In a recently
published study it was shown that a final rinse with 95% alcohol before root canal
obturation resulted in increased sealer penetration and conse-quently decreased
leakage161. This is in agreement with another study demonstrating that a final rinse
with alcohol allowed better sealer coverage than dry-ing with paper points 163.

When trying to insert the needle tip as close as possible to the working
length, the needle might be-come jammed in the root canal and the
pressure ex-erted can easily result in extrusion of NaOCl or H2O2 into
the periapical tissue. Hence when resistance to the needle is felt, it
should be pulled back approxi-mately 2 mm to ensure space between
the canal wall and needle to allow the irrigant to flow out of the
Fig 10 When introducing the irrigation needle there must be enough space
between the canal wall and the needle to allow the irrigant to flow out of the
