Abstract:

Root canal therapy is now the most commonly used and effective means for the treatment of pulp and periapical disease. Effective root canal irrigation is important to successful root canal treatment. Electrolyzed-oxidizing water is a kind of water with high oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), low pH, containing a certain concentration of effective chlorine produced by chlorine salt electrolysis, which has strong oxidation ability and can rapidly kill microorganisms. Compared with sodium hypochlorite solution which is the most commonly used root canal irrigant in clinical practice, it is non-toxic to human body, non-irritating to skin and oral mucosa, and even has the ability to remove the smear layer in root canal. These advantages make it valued by scholars at home and abroad, and is hopeful as an ideal root canal irrigant. In this paper, the preparation and preservation, characteristics as a root canal irrigant, application prospects and existing problems of electrolyzed-oxidizing water are reviewed.

Key words: electrolyzed-oxidizing water, root canal irrigation, antibacterial capacity, smear layer
