Abstract
Irrigation of root canal is an essential part that supports the success of root canal
treatment as it removes necrotic tissues, microorganisms and dentin chips from
infected root canal through flushing of irrigants. Despite its usefulness as an
antimicrobial agent, irrigants are also toxic that can cause irritations when
inadvertently forced into the periapical tissue. The choice of irrigants needs good
knowledge of irrigants’ characteristics, undertsanding an appropriate technique of
irrigation, and type of microorganisms involved in root canal infection that support
the effectiveness of irrigants. This paper is aimed to discuss the characteristics of
some irrigants commonly used in root canal treatment and also to present the results
obtained from some clinical investigations.
