Features and benefits
- Sodium hypochlorite is the only common irrigant that dissolves necrotic and vital organic pulp tissue, which is why it remains the primary endodontic irrigant worldwide; broad antibacterial action including against biofilm; dissolves the organic component of the smear layer, complementing EDTA which removes the inorganic component; lubricates the canal during instrumentation; economical 500 ml clinic bottle rather than a small dispensing bottle. The 3.25% concentration is the commonest routine working strength — strong enough for effective tissue dissolution while less aggressive to periapical tissue and dentine than 5.25% if a small amount is extruded.
Directions to use
Use only under rubber dam isolation — a hypochlorite accident from an unisolated field or from extrusion beyond the apex causes severe pain, swelling, ecchymosis and, occasionally, permanent nerve damage. Draw into a Luer-lock syringe with a side-vented needle, insert passively to 2–3 mm short of working length so the needle never binds, and express slowly with continuous high-volume suction in the chamber. Refresh frequently throughout instrumentation — irrigant volume and exchange matter more than concentration. Never force the plunger against resistance. Never combine directly with chlorhexidine; flush with saline between them. Protect the patient's eyes and clothing and warn the patient about the taste. Store closed, away from light and heat, as the solution degrades on exposure; check the expiry, since potency falls with age. Confirm exact composition, setting times and contraindications against the SafeEndo IFU before publishing.
