<i>Ex vivo</i> evaluation of dye penetration associated with various dentine bonding agents in conjunction with different irrigation solutions used within the pulp chamber

Abstract

The type of irrigant affected the sealing ability of bonding agents inside the pulp chamber and was material specific. Xeno III had less dye penetration with CHX and povidone iodine whilst sodium ascorbate pretreatment after NaOCl reduced dye penetration with both PBNT and Xeno III.
