Abstract
A gel containing radioactive 125 I-albumin was used to determine the effectiveness of four different types of irrigating needles in the removal of contamination in vitro form the root canals of forty endodontically treated single-rooted human teeth. All tracer from the root canals. Regardless of needle design, more tracer remained in the apical 4 and 8 millimeter segments after irrigation than was present prior to irrigation.
