Root canal irrigation is a vital step in endodontic treatment, designed to clean and disinfect the root canal system. During the procedure, irrigants such as sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, and EDTA are used to flush out debris, bacteria, and infected tissue from the canal. Sodium hypochlorite is the most commonly used irrigant due to its powerful antibacterial properties and ability to dissolve organic tissue. Chlorhexidine serves as an alternative antimicrobial agent, while EDTA is effective at removing inorganic material and aiding in the cleaning of canal walls. Saline or water may also be used to rinse the canal or dilute other solutions. The irrigation process helps to reduce the bacterial load, remove toxins, and prepare the canal for proper sealing, thereby increasing the likelihood of a successful root canal treatment. Various techniques, such as syringe irrigation or ultrasonic activation, can be employed to enhance the cleaning action and ensure thorough disinfection of the entire root canal system.
