Description
A team of dental researchers review a tricky step in root canal care in this 2024 paper. Some teeth needing treatment have open tips, where the root never finished forming. Flushing such a canal risks pushing the cleaning fluid past the tip into the jaw, where it can harm tissue.
Activation, stirring the fluid with sound or other energy, cleans better but may push harder. The review searched the literature and sifted hundreds of reports. After removing duplicates, animal work, and studies without activation, thirteen studies remained. They cover which fluids are used and which activation methods, from sonic tips to lasers. The authors weigh how much fluid escapes under each method. Their synthesis guides dentists who must clean an open canal without flooding the bone beyond it.
