ABSTRACT

Introduction To achieve success in endodontics, one should mechanically and chemically clean the root canal system. This includes areas that are difficult to access such as deltas, isthmuses,lateral and accesories canals,many of them are located in the apical third,for all that,is of utmost importance to reach this area .Materials and methods We have selected 25 items from the pubmed database about the Endovac system. The system presents two simultaneous actions.On the one hand it releases irrigant,while at the same time is sucked by negative pressure.It consists of an irrigation tip,attached to a syringe containing the irrigant and secondly a macro or a microcannula which in turn are joined to the suction system .Results and discussion ANP has proven to be a secure system since it prevents the extrusion of irrigant to periodontal tissues even bringing this to working length.Moreover,in their antimicrobial efficacy,controversy exists as some authors demostrate a great effect,others found no differences compared with conventional irrigation. Another aspect to know is that it also helps achieve ducts with less waste from the instrumentation. Conclusion Endovac system is a mechanism for safe and effective irrigation,it is capable of carrying the irrigant to apical safe to extrude the same as periapical,however,also has limitations because the action in accessory canals and dentinal tubules is very limited,making it necessary to use ultrasonic irrigation to complete cleaning of the duct system.
