Abstract

The effectiveness of chemomechanical preparation with normal saline solution and with a combination of sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide was evaluated microscopically. The results indicated that a combination of NaOCl and H2O2 was significantly more effective in cleansing the canal system at 1 and 3 mm from the apex. At the 5-mm level, normal saline solution was equally effective as an irrigant.
