T/F: The primary method of irrigation with NaOCl to avoid incident is to never allow the syringe tip to bind in the canal:
True
Which of the following functions is NOT accomplished by NaOCl?
A: Disorganizes biofilm
B: Dilutes toxins in the canal system
C: Removes the smear layer
D: Dissolves tissue substrate within the canals
E: Lubricates the canal system
C- removes the smear layer
What is the minimum time for NaOCl to function in the prepared canal to be effective?
30 minutes
We must remove and destroy both ____ & ____ to be successful
bacteria and their substrate
Instrumentation allows for access of the complex anatomy by ____%
60-70%
What is NaOCl comprised of?
8.3% Sodium hypochlorite (bleach)
Our major weapons: cleaning and shaping with:
NaOCl & Intra-canal medicaments
You must not have the tip of the syringe:
beyond apical constriction
Where should you set the bend of the tip of the syringe?
2 mm short of WL
When NaOCl breaks down, what do we have?
NaCl & H2O
NaOCl becomes inactive after:
3-5 minutes in the canal
NaOCl becomes in active after 3-5 minutes in the canal so it must be:
replinished every 3-5 minutes
It is important that you irrigate with NaOCl following:
each active instrument
What is often used for surface disinfection? What is it comprised of?
Dakin’s Solution; 0.25% NaOCl
Compared to Dakin’s Solution, 8.3% NaOCl (Clorox) is ____ times stronger and more _____ but also more ____
33.2x stronger; toxic; effective
A typical class requires about _____cc of NaOCl as irritant per visit
10-12cc
NaOCl must be in contact with shaped canal a minimum of ____ after canal is enlarged to ___ or larger
30 minutes; #30
A canal smaller than #30 will seldom if ever allow:
any irritant to reach the apical 1/3 of the canal
What does Recapitulate mean?
- Flood canal system with NaOCl
- Repeat every 3-5 min
- Move on with next active instrument

- Dissolves living tissue at ____ concentration
- oxidizer
- disinfectant
- low concentration
