[Preliminary clinical study of endodontic antiseptic in monotithic type chlorhexidine controlled release delivery system]
The purpose of clinical study was to assess the bacteriological status of the root canal after disinfection with the monotithic type chlorhexidine enrolled release delivery system (CCROS).In experiments the monotithic type CCRDS was found to be more effective than the reservoir type CCRDS.The root canals of 24 teeth with apical periodontitis were completely instrumented and irrigated with sodium hypochloride.After the instrumentations,12 teeth were treated with the monotitihic type CCRDS,12 teeth were treated with formocresol.Bacterological samples from the root canals were taken after 5 days using an anaerobic technique.The results indicated that monotithic type CCRDS was more effective than formocresol in obtaining bacteria-free root canals(Chi-square test P<0.05).The advantages of an antiseptic with along lasting effect for the elimination of bacteria form the root canal and for the prevention of reinfection were emphasized.
