Effectiveness of root canal irrigation

Z Ram. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1977 Aug.

Abstract

When root canals are being enlarged, repeated irrigation is mandatory. Under the conditions of this study, the most significant factor in obtaining maximum results in root canal irrigation is the diameter of the canals. The removal of debris seems to be a function of canal diameter rather than the type of solution used.
