Uklanjanje biofilma s bakterijom Enterococcus faecalis iz korijenskog kanala pomoću pasivnog ultrazvučnog ispiranja i sustava RinsEndo Eradication of Intracanal Enterococcus Faecalis Biofilm by Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation and RinsEndo System

The success of the endodontic treatment depends on the removal of vital or necrotic pulp tissue and minimizing the amount of pathological debris from the complex root canal system. Root canal irrigation seems to be undeniably important during biomechanical preparation, particularly because, during mechanical instrumentation, approximately 35-40% of the root canal surface remained unchanged (1). Moreover, it has been revealed that even after the use of Ni-Ti rotary instruments, root canal imperfections such as isthmuses, ramifications and fins, remained untouched and infected (2). Furthermore, a continuous presence of microorganisms, their by-products and debris in these unreached areas may prevent close adaptation and penetration of the sealer (3) resulting in the persistent microbial leakage through the root canal, and periradicular inflammation.
