A SCANNING ELECTRON-MICROSCOPIC STUDY OF THE CLEANSING EFFECTIVENESS OF 3 IRRIGATING MODALITIES ON THE TUBULAR STRUCTURE OF DENTIN

This is a scanning electron microscope study of the cleaning effective ness of three irrigating modalities on roots dentin. When hydrogen per oxide was followed by sodium hypochlorite, it effectively cleaned the dentinal tubules of the root. When RC-Prep was reacted with sodium hyp ochlorite, it proved to be a more efficient irrigating method than hyd rogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite solution. When a new improved R C-Prep with 15% carbanide peroxide was reacted with sodium hypochlorit e, it proved was reacted with sodium hypochlorite, it proved to be a s uperior cleansing method for root dentin.
