ABSTRACT
The root canal irrigation going along with instrumentation is a mandatory attitude in current endodontic practice. To increase the evacuation efficacy of dental pulp remnants, dentin debris and bacterial biofilms from root canals and lateral irregularities including canal isthmuses, various procedures of irrigants activation were conceived. If not yet quite satisfactory, among various techniques of irrigant activation currently used the passive ultrasonic activation proved to be more efficient to achieving cleaning and disinfection of root canal isthmuses.
