Ultrasonic irrigation flows in root canals: effects of ultrasound power and file insertion depth

Ultrasonic irrigation flows in root canals: effects of ultrasound power and file insertion depth

Abstract Ultrasonic irrigation during root canal treatment can enhance biofilm disruption. The challenge is to improve the fluid flow so that the irrigant reaches areas inaccessible to hand instrumentation. The aim of this study is to experimentally investigate how the flow field and hydrodynamic fo...
