Evaluating the Preventive and Therapeutic Roles of Active Irrigation Systems in Root Canal Treatment: A Narrative Review and Critical Appraisal of Theory and Methodology by Ignacio Barbero-Navarro, Iuliana Sofian-Pauliuc, Maria Esther Irigoyen-Camacho, Marco Antonio Zepeda-Zepeda, David Ribas-Perez, Antonio Luis Castaño-Seiquer

“…By using an irrigant, such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), practitioners attempt to wash out debris, dissolve organic and inorganic tissue, lubricate the canals, prevent smear layer formation, and disrupt biofilms. Different methods have been developed to optimise the effectiveness of irrigants, including manual or passive techniques (the conventional method used worldwide) and active techniques (the irrigant is activated by certain devices to improve its flow in the root canal system). …”
