Abstract
AimIn endodontics a complete chemo mechanical cleansing of the complex root canal system is essential in order to achieve a theraupetic success.MethodologySodium hypoclorite due to its antimicrobial and proteolytic characteristic, is an efficient endodontic irrigant and it is the most commonly used.The following article introduces a refined technique in order to increase the degree of cleansing during endodontic treatment.The technique involves intracanal heating of the irrigants through a heat source.ResultsThe described technique is able to enhance simply and considerably the use of sodium hypochlorite, making it easily accessible even to generic operators.ConclusionsTo confirm the validity of this improved technique, further research and scientific studies are needed, although at the clinical level, the results by using it are very satisfactoryKeywords
