After giving a brief illustration of the complex morphology of the root canal system, the Authors discuss the use of ultrasound in Endodontics. Following a critical evaluation of the literature and of the mechanisms of ultrasonic instruments, they illustrate their experience through a wide selection of S.E.M. photographs of teeth treated in vitro with sodium hypochlorite at various concentrations and for different lengths of time. They demonstrate the synergistic action between ultrasound and irrigation solutions, and conclude that the best results are with 2.5\% hypochlorite for 1 minute.

Abstract
After giving a brief illustration of the complex morphology of the root canal system, the Authors discuss the use of ultrasound in Endodontics. Following a critical evaluation of the literature and of the mechanisms of ultrasonic instruments, they illustrate their experience through a wide selection of S.E.M. photographs of teeth treated in vitro with sodium hypochlorite at various concentrations and for different lengths of time. They demonstrate the synergistic action between ultrasound and irrigation solutions, and conclude that the best results are with 2.5\% hypochlorite for 1 minute.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
