Abstract

NaOCl and EDTA are the standard of irrigation solutions. However, long-term use can cause unwanted effects. Apple vinegar is acidic so it can cause demineralization. This research was conducted to determine the effect of apple vinegar as an irrigation solution on the dentin microstructure of the root canals. This research is a laboratory experiment with a posttest only control group design. 24 post-extraction mandibular premolars were divided based on the irrigation solution used, namely 2.5% NaOCl, 100%, 75%, 75%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25% apple vinegar, and aquadest. The microstructural changes observed with the Scanning Electron Microscope at 2000 magnification. The assessment of cleanliness used the Hulsmann scoring while the erosion was used the criteria of Torabinejad. The cleanliness in the positive control had an average score of 1. The 100% apple vinegar solution group had a score of 1.67. In the lower apple vinegar concentration group had a greater average score. The average dentin erosion scores of each group were compared with the positive control with p-value ≥ 0.05. Apple vinegar as an irrigation solution affects the dentin microstructure of the root canal. There was no erosion, but the cleanliness of the smear layer increased according to the increase of concentration.
