Optimization of the endodontic retreatment

Abstract

Aim. Optimization of an endodontic retreatment by performing the following tasks, including the selection of an optimal and safe solvent.Materials and methods. In order to choose the most suitable solvent for the problem, an experiment was conducted with clove, mint, eucalyptus, orange, and grapefruit oils. The surface tension coefficient was measured by the Rebinder apparatus. In order to justify the choice of an effective essential oil, as well as the dissolving ability and the absence of solvent and debris after irrigation with sodium hypochlorite in the root canal, a tube-shaped electron scanning microscopy was performed.Results. Grapefruit oil has the most dissolving activity (p < 0.05). In addition to the solubility of the filler and siller, grapefruit essential oil is able to dissolve the smear layer.Conclusion. Optimization of the endodontic retreatment with root canals previously filled with gutta-percha, is possible using essential oils, however, a grapefruit oil is the most effective.
