| description | AIM. The effect of irrigants on the smear layer on the intracanalicular dentin surface is one of the important issues in endodontics. The objective of this article is to determine the effect of different concentrations of polyhexanide-based solutions and standard irrigants on the smear layer using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).MATERIALS AND METHODS. The present study was conducted on 42 extracted teeth (third molars, first and second premolars) with formed apices that had been extracted for orthodontic indications. The teeth were decoronated and samples were prepared. In order to create a smear layer, the lumen of the canals was instrumented with H-file #40 throughout. A simulation of root canal irrigation was conducted by immersing the specimens in a 5-ml container filled with the proper solution for 1 hour: group 1 – no treatment (n = 6); group 2 – saline (n = 6); group 3 – 2% chlorhexidine (n = 6); group 4 – 3% sodium hypochlorite (n = 6); group 5 – 17% EDTA; group 6 – polyhexanide 0.1% (n = 6); group 7 – polyhexanide 0.2% (n = 6). A ~30 nm thick platinum film was sputtered onto the surface of each sample using a magnetron deposition technique. SEM microphotos were acquired on a Vega3 TESCAN scanning electron microscope (SEM) with an SE secondary electron detector, which enables imaging with high topographic contrast. The initial detector (incamera) was employed for image acquisition, with an electron energy of 30 keV. Images were acquired at magnifications of x20 (overview image), x150, x250, x500, x1000, x2500, x7500 for each sample.RESULTS. The samples from groups 1 and 5 demonstrated the absence of a smear layer on the dentin surface and the absence of smear plugs in the dentinal tubules. Groups 2 and 3 are distinguished by the deposition of a pronounced amorphous smear layer and the obturation of all dentinal tubules. Groups 4, 6, and 7 are distinguished by the deposition of a smaller volume of smear layer on the dentin surface, as well as the presence of semi-open or completely open entrances to the dentinal tubules.CONCLUSION. The data obtained indicates that antiseptic compositions based on polyhexanide in concentrations of 0.1 and 0.2% do not have a pronounced effect on the smear layer. However, in visual evaluation of SEM micrographs, their effect is comparable to that of 3% sodium hypochlorite. In instances where enhanced dissolution of the smear layer and smear plugs from the tubules is necessary to facilitate decontamination of the wall dentin, the combination of antiseptics with chelate compounds, such as 17% EDTA, may be employed. |
