Researchers from State Key Laboratory Describe Findings in Dental Science (The ability of different diffusing enhancers to deliver chlorhexidine into dentinal tubules: An in vitro evaluation).

A study conducted at the State Key Laboratory in China examined the ability of different diffusing enhancers to deliver chlorhexidine (CHX) into dentinal tubules for root canal disinfection. The researchers assessed the diffusing properties of five enhancers and found that azone, Triton X-100, and JFC-E exhibited the largest maximum diffusing depths. Azone showed the highest diffusing ability with low cytotoxicity and may be used as a carrier agent for more thorough root canal disinfection. The study was published in the Journal of Dental Sciences. [Extracted from the article]
