Question hi
i just want to ask about the type of irrigation used for cleaning of the roots in instrumentation
am using now normal saline so please tell me if their is any new irrigations
with my thankfull
Answer Hi Omeed,
We use 50% bleach (5.25% naocl) and 50% water. I think the critical thing is good instrumentation, but bleach is a tissue solvent and in low concentrations is tolerated well and not too corrosive.
