Endodontic therapy is the treatment of choice for teeth with apical periodontitis and Internal Root Resorptions

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is arguably chosen as primary endodontic disinfection solution. Nevertheless, the ideal concentration, temperature, contact period and extent of clinical effectiveness of NaOCl remains under discussion.3–6 Moreover, several clinical factors (e.g. root perforations, absence of apical constriction etc.) may accidently induce NaOCl extrusion into periapical tissues with potentially severe and hazardous consequences.7–9
