Effect of temperature on the bactericidal action of sodium hypochlorite endodontic irrigant.
When the in vitro bactericidal action of 2.6 percent sodium hypochlorite endodontic irrigating solution was compared at room temperature (22 degrees C.) and at body temperature (37 degrees C.), sterility was achieved in significantly less time at 37 degrees C.
