Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface tension and the antimicrobial activity in infected dentin of a NaOCl solution combined with an etidronate powder (Dual Rinse® HEDP), compared to pure NaOCl and the classic NaOCl + EDTA irrigating sequence, respectively. The surface tension of three irrigants was measured by Wilhelmy technique. To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the solutions, 26 human teeth were contaminated for 5 days with E. faecalis. After bacterial contamination, ten samples were irrigated with NaOCl followed by EDTA, another ten with NaOCl/Dual Rinse® HEDP, and four were used as positive controls. Two specimens not contaminated were used as negative controls. After live/dead BacLight staining, samples were examined by CLSM for analyzing % of residual live and dead cells. Comparison of bacterial viability between and within groups was performed using the Mann–Whitney test for independent samples and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, respectively. The mean surface tension of EDTA was significantly lower than that of the other irrigants tested (p < 0.001). Conversely, the surface tension of NaOCl/Dual Rinse® HEDP solution was significantly higher than that of all the other solutions (p < 0.001). Residual bacterial viability in the NaOCl/Dual Rinse® HEDP (1.71%) was significantly lower (p = 0.019) than in the NaOCl + EDTA group (3.77%). All of the experimental groups showed significantly lower proportion of viable bacterial cells than the positive control group (p < 0.01). Clinical relevance adding etidronate to NaOCl increases its antimicrobial effect in dentinal tubules even though increases its surface tension.
