Evaluation of Debridement Techniques for Endodontic Instruments

Abstract

Files, reamers, and Hedstrom files were used to instrument both wet and dry canals and then cleansed by a chairside technique. Statistical analysis of the various cleansing techniques showed that 2 by 2 inch gauze wipes, either wet or dry, cleansed the instruments of debris better than any other method tested.
