Comparative Evaluation of Debris and Irrigation Extruded Apically Using Different Design of Needles and Penetration Depth - An In Vitro Study

Aim: The aim of this study was to measure the amount of material extruded in the periapical area using three irrigation needles (Max-I-Probe, NaviTip Fx and IrriFlex flexible needle). Materials and Methods: Mandibular premolars were selected for this study and glass vials were used to gather the ext...

description Aim: The aim of this study was to measure the amount of material extruded in the periapical area using three irrigation needles (Max-I-Probe, NaviTip Fx and IrriFlex flexible needle). Materials and Methods: Mandibular premolars were selected for this study and glass vials were used to gather the extruded debris and they were preweighed. The samples were divided into two groups: Group A (1 mm penetration of needle from working length), which was subdivided into three subgroups: Subgroup A1: Irrigation was made by Max-I-Probe. Subgroup A2: Irrigation was made by NaviTip Fx. Subgroup A3: Irrigation was made by IrriFlex flexible needle. Group B (3 mm penetration of needle), which was subdivided into three subgroups: Subgroup B1: Irrigation was made by Max-I-Probe. Subgroup B2: Irrigation was made by NaviTip Fx. Subgroup B3: Irrigation was made by IrriFlex flexible needle. XP-endo Shaper was used for chemomechanical preparation. After removal from vials, the teeth were incubated and then removed from the incubator and weighed again three times. The average of the readings was taken. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and least significance difference tests were applied to analyse data. Results: All of the needles caused debris extrusion. There was a significant difference between groups (P ≤ 0.001) according to the depth of penetration. The lowest value for debris was observed in subgroup B3 while subgroup A2 had shown the highest mean. Conclusion: Results revealed that the design and depth of needles significantly affected the debris extrusion. Using more flexible needles and shorter penetration depth for irrigation so that we don’t need to push the needles so far apically.
