AIM or PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of supplementary use of XP-endo Finisher file (XPF), passive ultrasonic activation (PUI), EDDY, and Standart Needle Irrigation (SNI) on the removal of different intracanal medicaments fromsimulated internal resorption cavities (IRC). MATERIALS and METHOD: One hundred eight single-rooted maxillary incisor teeth were included in the study. The root canals were prepared up to size 50,05 taper. The specimens were split longitudinally, and standardized internal resorption cavities were prepared. The samples were initially divided into 3 groups and filled with different intracanal medicaments: Calcium hydroxide (CH) Ledermix, and Bio-C Temp (n=36). The specimens were divided into 4 subgroups (n=9) according to the activation techniques as follows: XPF, PUI, EDDY, and SNI. The root halves were separated, and simulated IRR cavities of each root halves were visualized under 25x magnification. Residual materials were scored and statistical analyses were performed. RESULTS: XPF and PUI removed significantly more medicaments from IRCs than SNI group (P <.05), showing significantly no difference between EDDY. While Bio-C Temp was the least removed medicament from IRCs (P <.05), it was followed byCHandLedermix. CONCLUSION(S): None of the tested techniques rendered the simulated IRCs free of medicaments. XPF and PUI were found to be more successful than other techniques in removing medicament. Bio-C temp, containing bioceramic, has been the most difficult medicament to be removed from root canals.
