Syringe irrigation in confluent canals: A sequential computational fluid dynami...
Rito Pereira, Mário; Silva, Goncalo; Semiao, Viriato; Martins, Jorge; Silverio, Vania; Pascoal-Faria, Paula; Duarte, Isabel; Alves, NunoThis study aims to assess the influence of root canal preparation, irrigation needle design and its placement depth in the irrigation flow of confluent canals during syringe irrigation. A mandibular molar presenting two confluent canals in its mesial root was sequentially prepared and scanned by micro-computed tomography after mechanical preparation up to ProTaper Next system sizes X2 (25/.06v), X3 (30/.07v) an...
Computational fluid dynamics study on mesial roots of mandibular molars
Rito Pereira, MárioObjectives: To evaluate the fluid dynamics of syringe irrigation in mesial root canals of mandibular molars. Material and methods: A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was experimentally validated using micro-particle image velocimetry (micro-PIV) measurements and subsequently employed to evaluate fluid dynamics in confluent canals acquired by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) of natural teeth sequenti...
