摘要：Sodium hypochlorite is an effective irrigant for chemical debridement of root canals. However, increasing the intracanal pressure during irrigant delivery may result in irrigant extrusion into the bone and soft tissues surrounding the tooth. Because clinicians often encounter teeth with intracanal communications, the objective of the present study was to examine the effects of canal anastomosis on the generation of periapical fluid pressure at different fluid flow rates and insertion depths. Two similar polycarbonate models were used to simulate a single root with double canals, one containing, and the other without communicating channels between the canals. For both models, periapical pressure increased with increasing irrigant flow rates and insertion depths of a 30-gauge side-venting needle. In the presence of communicating channels, the magnitude of pressure build-up decreased by almost 90% irrespective of the fluid flow rate or needle insertion depth. Pressure reduction in anastomoses-containing roots provides an explanation why pressure generation in single roots is considerably higher. Nevertheless, it is still possible in teeth with canal anastomoses for pressure exceeding the intraosseous pressure to be generated when the fluid flow rate is sufficiently high and when the needle tip is close to the apical terminus.
