Özet
Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the efficacy of photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) activation of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), chlorhexidine (CHX) or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on the dentin microhardness and to assess the compositional changes of root dentin. Background data: It is still unclear whether PIPS activation of irrigants alters the dentin microhardness and mineral content of dentin. Materials and methods: Root canals of 72 extracted single-rooted teeth were prepared and teeth were fixed in microcentrifuge tubes with silicone impression material. After setting of the silicone, teeth were removed and split longitudinally in buccolingual direction. One half was used as control (pretreatment) while the other was placed into the tube (posttreatment). Then specimens were divided into six test groups (three with and three without PIPS activation). The irrigants tested were 2.5% NaOCl, 17% EDTA, and 2% CHX. Experimental tooth specimens were irrigated with 6 mL of test solution, with additional PIPS activation applied to the PIPS groups. Then specimens were subjected to Vickers microhardness testing. Percentage change of microhardness was calculated. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) was performed to measure element content. Results: Among the irrigant-alone groups, NaOCl and CHX did not alter the dentin microhardness, whereas statistically lower microhardness values were obtained in EDTA group. Chemical composition of dentin was affected from all irrigants used. PIPS activation led to no additional alteration in dentin microhardness. PIPS significantly increased the phosphorus level in NaOCl group. Conclusions: Dentin microhardness was significantly affected by the irrigation solution, not by the PIPS activation.
