Efficacy of passive ultrasonic activation and photon-initiated photoacoustic streaming on apical extruded debris of different rotary systems in curved canals

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact photon-initiated photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) and ultrasonic activator Ultra X (UX) on extrusion debris using One Curve (OC) rotary system Reciproc Blue (RB) in curved canals. Methodology: Ninety extracted mandibular first molar teeth were divided into six groups (n = 15), Group (1): OC with PIPS, (2) UX, (3) conventional needle irrigation (CNI), (4) RB (5) (6) CNI. activation methods used final 2.5 cc distilled water. apically protruded collected pre-weighed Eppendorf tubes. By deducting tube's initial weight from weight, dry calculated. Two-way ANOVA test analyze results statistically. Results: A significant difference found among all (p < 0.05). No statistically instrumentation systems, regardless technique employed > CNI systems caused significantly less than UX systems. Conclusion: highest amount PIPS can be preferred devices as How cite article: Akman M, Bozkurt DA, Zogheib C.
