Opis

This book offers an in-depth exploration of irrigation activation techniques in endodontics, focusing on their role in enhancing canal disinfection and clinical outcomes. Conventional syringe irrigation, though commonly used, often proves insufficient in cleaning the complex anatomy of the root canal system, especially in areas like lateral canals, isthmuses, and apical thirds. To address these challenges, various activation techniques have been introduced to improve irrigant flow, penetration, and biofilm removal. It discusses manual agitation, sonic and ultrasonic activation methods, as well as apical negative pressure systems like EndoVac. It also delves into advanced technologies such as Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation (PUI), Continuous Ultrasonic Irrigation (CUI), laser-activated irrigation (PIPS and SWEEPS), and the GentleWave system, which utilize energy and fluid dynamics for superior canal cleanliness.This book serves as a valuable academic resource, providing comprehensive insight into evolving irrigation strategies that are shaping the future of successful endodontic therapy.
