Summary
This investigation will focus on the use of EDDY tips, because it is known that the complete
debridement of the canal is very difficult, which leads to an accumulation of tissue debris,
bacteria and their products, resulting in persistent periradicular inflammation. So, it's of
great importance, the study of other approaches of cleaning and disinfecting the root canal,
which at the same time, may produce a lower risk of postoperative pain.
The above mentioned topics have never been analysed simultaneously with the use of EDDY tips,
and the evaluation of the postoperative pain was never addressed.
This research is of great clinical interest, due to the complexity of root canal system, with
isthmuses, ramifications and dentinal tubules, that make the total elimination of bacteria
impossible, even with the best clinical protocols, because the irrigants cannot penetrate the
dentinal tubules, and the postoperative pain is an exhausting factor for patients.
Therefore, a new protocol, with better disinfection rate and less postoperative pain, will be
able to increase the success rate of endodontic treatments, allowing to save condemned teeth.
