What is Endodontic Irrigants: Sodium Hypochlorite & Chlorhexidine about?
Irrigation in endodontics serves mechanical, chemical, and biological purposes, including debris removal and antimicrobial effects. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is the most commonly used irrigant due to its tissue-dissolving and antibacterial properties, while chlorhexidine (CHX) is effective but lacks the ability to dissolve necrotic tissue. Ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) is used to remove the mineralized smear layer but should be combined with NaOCl for optimal results.
