2% Chlorhexidine in root canal treatment: A review
Abstract- - Microorganisms and their by-products are considered to be the major cause of pulp and peri-radicular pathologies, and for the dis-infection of these canals we need proper shaping, cleaning of these canals with mechanical instruments and chemical irrigants. Here we are discussing about the chlorohexidine with a concentration of 2% in root canal treatment. It has been found that there is a highly significant reduction in the number of microorganisms in the chlorhexidine-treated specimens after instrumentation and irrigation. Here we will discuss the merits and de-merits of chlorhexidine and its use in root canal as an irrigant or medicaments.
