• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2018-02-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This study was conducted to determine the antibacterial affect of three different solutions used as final irrigant during endodontic therapy. The investigator's objective was to compare the antibacterial affect of relatively new final irrigant QMix with EDTA and Qmix with EDTA+CHX by evaluating the bacteriological status of the root canal before and after use of the final irrigant.
