Abstract

AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of this study is to prevent the formation of precipitate due to combined use of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine by using two different antioxidant solutions, 6.25% sodium metabisulfite and 10% Gallic acid as intermediate flush and to compare the efficacy of both these solutions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty single rooted maxillary central incisors were used. The samples were divided into three groups (n=20), based on the intermediate irrigant used. Group 1- 5.25% Sodium hypochlorite irrigation + 2% Chlorhexidine (without intermediate flush). Group 2- 5.25% Sodium hypochlorite irrigation + 6.25% sodium metabisulfite irrigation + 2% Chlorhexidine. Group 3- 5.25% Sodium hypochlorite irrigation + 10% Gallic acid irrigation + 2% Chlorhexidine. The samples were split into 2 equal halves, studied under stereomicroscope and scored by the criteria given by Arslan [et al.]. RESULTS: Statistical analysis reveals overall intergroup comparison results were statistically significant (p< 0.05). Group 2 showed better performance than Group 1 and Group 3. Group 3 showed better performance than Group 1. CONCLUSION: 6.25% Sodium metabisulfite and 10% Gallic acid had a positive effect on reducing the precipitate formation but not completely. 6.25% sodium metabisulfite showed better performance in reducing the precipitate when compared to 10% Gallic acid with statistical significance (p< 0.004).
