Learn about the impact of microbial reduction on root canal treatment success. Research shows how various techniques and medications can effectively eliminate bacteria from root canals, improving outcomes. Discover the role of sodium hypochlorite and calcium hydroxide in eradicating intracanal bugs. Find out how optimal canal enlargement contributes to bacterial elimination, enhancing the overall prognosis of the procedure.

Microbial reduction makes the prognosis of RCT better Go Away Bugs
“ the larger you open the canals the more microbes you kill”even without sodium hypochlorite.Dalton BC, Ørstavik D, Phillips C, Pettiette M, Trope M.Bacterial reduction with nickel-titanium rotary instrumentation.J Endod 1998: 24: 763–767.
The reduction is more pronounced with sodium hypochlorite Shuping GB, Ørstavik D, Sigurdsson A, Trope M. Reduction of intracanal bacteria using nickel-titanium rotary instrumentation and various medications. J Endod 2000: 26: 751–755.
The more enlargement (of the apical portion to even larger sizes) the more microbes are eliminated. Card S, Trope M, Sigurdsson A, Ørstavik D. The effectiveness of increased apical enlargement in reducing intracanal bacteria. J Endod 2002
Calcium Hydroxide is neededto eradicate root canal bugs. Byström A, Happonen RP, Sjögren U, Sundqvist G. Endod Dent Traumatol 1987: 3: 58-63. Byström A, Claeson R, Sundqvist G. Endod Dent Traumatol 1985: 1: 170-175.
