| Abstract |
| Background: Removal of smear layer from the root canal walls is important for long‑standing endodontic success. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare smear layer removing ability among 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and phytic acid by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Materials and Methods: Sixty single rooted unidentified extracted maxillary anterior human teeth collected and stored in saline solution for two weeks before used. The length of all the teeth used was adjusted at 16mm from the apex by decoronation using taper stone under copious amount of water. Roots was randomly and equally divided into three main groups according to rotary systems used in root canal preparation (n=20) as following: Group A1: preparation was done by SmarttrackX3 Rotary system. One half of each root were mounted on coded stubs. Each segment of the root canal lumen was examined under 1000x magnification of Environmental Scan Electron Microscope (ESEM) Results: Smear layer removing ability of Phytic aid and EDTA were the same. |
