Özet
Objective: Calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2 ], is the most commonly used intracanal medicament in endodontic treatments. It has antimicrobial activity against endodontic pathogens. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, citric acid, maleic acid, and EDTA+setrimid combination in the removal of Ca(OH)2 intracanal medicament from root canals with manual irrigation using a syringe. Methods: A total of 72 single-rooted bovine incisors were prepared, and Ca(OH)2 paste was placed in the working length with lentulo to the root canals for the study. Seven days later, samples were established to 6 groups according to the Ca(OH)2 removal techniques: 17% EDTA, 10% citric acid, 7% maleic acid, 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid +0.2% cetrimide combination, positive control group [no Ca(OH)2 paste], and negative control group (no irrigation). Residual Ca(OH)2 was scored using a 4-grade scoring system, and the data were analyzed statistically using the Kruskal–Wallis test (P =.05). Results: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid +cetrimide combination showed the best results regarding calcium hydroxide removal from the coronal part. In the apical part, while ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid +cetrimide’s efficiency was higher than malic acid (P =.020), no statistically significant difference was observed between ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and citric acid’s efficiency (P >.05). Conclusion: There is no difference in terms of Ca(OH)2 removing ability of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, citric acid, and malic acid from root canals. Since cetrimide addition has been shown to improve ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid’s Ca(OH)2 removing ability from root canals, cetrimide irrigation can be recommended to removal of Ca(OH)2. © 2022, AVES.
