Los microorganismos son el primer factor etiológico de la enfermedad pulpar y periapical, por lo tanto si estos persisten en los túbulos dentinarios y  no se eliminan por completo pueden reinfectar el canal radicular y conllevar al fracaso del tratamiento endodóntico realizado. Las soluciones irrigantes son las encargadas de disolver los restos de tejido pulpar así como la destrucción bacteriana. En la actualidad a los Compuestos Fenólicos Sulfonados (CFS) se les atribuye una amplia gama de aplicaciones en el campo odontológico. Es por esto que el objetivo del presente trabajo  consistió en revisar de la literatura relacionada a la actividad antimicrobiana in vitro de Compuestos fenólicos Sulfonados sobre bacterias del conducto radicular. Para esto se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en la base de datos PubMed. De la búsqueda realizada no se encontraron resultados relacionados al objetivo propuesto; sin embargo, se discutieron cuatro artículos relacionados a los CFS. A partir de lo observado, se sugieren realizar estudios in  vitro e in vivo que sustenten el empleo de dichos compuestos en la práctica endodóntica.

The aim: To compare the quality of root canal system preparation with the use of manual K-files, machine Protaper Universal and Silk files by in vitro studies. Materials and methods: Root canals preparation in 45 extracted premolars was performed in three groups with 15 teeth in each with K-files, Protaper Universal and Silk files. Transverse sections of the dental root were prepared. Histologically were assessed: amount of sawdust and predentin remaining, the purity degree of root canal walls. Results: When calculating the sawdust amount at the distance of 3 mm from an apex, a high degree of contamination was observed in the manual K-file group: 53.3% versus 33.3% in the Protaper Universal group and against 20.0% in the Silk file group. The amount of predentin after root canal treatment with manual files reached 25-30%. At the distance of 5 mm from the apex the root canals with high and medium purity degree were detected in 86.7% with Silk files and 80.0% with Protaper Universal files used. All predentin was removed when working with Protaper Universal and Silk files. Conclusions: In the histological sections of the root canals treated with K-files, the larger amount of dentine particles and predentin has been revealed than when using machine tools. The largest amount of predentin and dentine were removed with Protaper Universal files. Silk endodontic system is better for treatment of the root canals dentine surface in the apical area compared to Protaper Universal and K-files.

ABSTRACT Introduction The main objective of root canal treatment is to disinfect the entire root canal system, and irrigation is an important step in reducing the bacterial load from the root canal system. However, irrigants currently used in the field of endodontics have their share of limitations, and the search for an ideal root canal irrigant continues. The use of herbal extracts as endodontic irrigants is today gaining popularity. Aims and objectives To evaluate and compare the antimicrobial potential of herbal extracts, such as neem (Azadirachta indica), triphala (Terminalia chebula), green tea (Camellia sinensis), and combination of neem and triphala as endodontic irrigants against Enterococcus faecalis. Materials and methods Freshly prepared extracts of neem, triphala, green tea, and 2% chlorhexidine were used to assess the antimicrobial efficiency against E. faecalis using the agar well diffusion test. Agar plates were incubated at 370°C for 24 hours in an incubator. The diameter of bacterial inhibition zones around each well was recorded to the nearest size in mm. Results Higher mean zone of inhibition was recorded in chlorhexidine followed by neem extract and combination of neem and triphala than triphala and green tea extract respectively. The lowest mean zone of inhibition was found in green tea extract. Conclusion From the present study, it can be concluded that neem leaf extract shows comparable zones of inhibition with that of chlorhexidine and combination of neem and triphala.
