ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the cleaning capacity of Profile .04 files combined with different irrigating solutions in flattened root canals using histological, morphometrical and SEM analyses. Eighty human mandibular incisors were prepared with Profile .04 instruments and randomly divided into 4 groups according to the irrigating solutions used (n=20) G1 distilled water (control); G2 1 percent sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl); G3 1 percent NaOCl alternated with 17 percent EDTA, and G4 1 percent NaOCl with RCPrep cream. Ten teeth of each group were evaluated with an optical microscope to determine the percentage of root canal debris. The remaining teeth were evaluated under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey's test (á=0.01).There was a significant difference (p<0.001) among the groups regarding the percentage of debris left in the canals (distilled water 18.82 ± 5.55; 1 percent NaOCl 6.29 ± 5.55; 1 percent NaOCl + 17 percent EDTA 12.47 ± 6.92; 1 percent NaOCl + RCPrep 7.82 ± 1.91). The SEM analysis showed the best results for 1 percent NaOCl + 17 percent EDTA on smear layer removal. It may be concluded that the combination of Profile .04 rotary instrumentation and the tested solutions was not able to totally remove debris and smear layer from flattened root canals.
RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a capacidade de limpeza dos instrumentos Profile .04 associados a diferentes soluções irrigantes, em canais radiculares achatados, por meio de análises histológica, morfométrica e MEV. Oitenta incisivos inferiores humanos foram submetidos ao preparo biomecânico com instrumentos Profile .04 e aleatoriamente distribuídos em 4 grupos de acordo com as soluções irrigantes usadas (n=20) G1 - água destilada (controle); G2 - NaOCl 1 por cento; G3 - NaOCl 1 por cento alternado com EDTA 17 por cento e G4 - NaOCl 1 por cento com RCPrep creme. Dez dentes de cada grupo foram avaliados em microscopia óptica para determinação da porcentagem de debris do canal radicular. Os demais dentes foram avaliados em microscopia eletrônica de varredura. A análise estatística mostrou diferença significante (p<0,001) entre os grupos ao considerar a porcentagem de debris remanescente nos canais (água destilada 18,82 ± 5,55; NaOCl 6,29 ± 5,55; NaOCl + EDTA 12,47 ± 6,92; NaOCl + RCPrep 7,82 ± 1,91). A análise em MEV evidenciou melhores resultados na remoção da camada de smear com o NaOCl 1 por cento alternado com EDTA 17 por cento. Pode-se concluir que a associação entre a instrumentação rotatória com Profile .04 e as soluções testadas não foi capaz de remover totalmente debris e camada de smear de canais radiculares achatados.
