PG - 1591-1597 LID - 10.1002/cre2.654 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: To evaluate intermediate treatments between sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine gluconate irrigations for the prevention of a toxic brown precipitate in root canal therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-nine premolars were irrigated with 6% sodium hypochlorite and divided into either: No intermediate treatment; Dry paper points; three different irrigations with 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, deionized water, or 5% sodium thiosulfate. 2% chlorhexidine gluconate was the final irrigant in all groups. Sectioned teeth were analyzed for brown precipitate intensity and area using stereomicroscopy and components related to para-chloroaniline using Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). RESULTS: Stereomicroscopy showed that 5% STS significantly reduced brown precipitate intensity and area as compared with no intermediate irrigation (p < .05, Chi-square, generalized linear model, and Tukey's multiple comparison tests). Utilizing ToF-SIMS, 5% sodium thiosulfate was most effective in reducing the components representing para-chloroaniline and chlorhexidine gluconate. CONCLUSION: The 5% sodium thiosulfate was most effective among other intermediate treatments, assessed by stereomicroscopy and ToF-SIMS. CI - (c) 2022 The Authors.
