Abstract

The present paper is a literature review of present and future trends for the antimicrobial irrigant solutions and nanoparticles used in endodontic fillers for root canal disinfection with the intention of ensuring no biofilm formation. Nowadays failures after root canal treatment are increasingly frequent and represent a high risk of more complex infections in patients; so it is carrying a continuous improvement of products used for cleaning and intracanal sealing, that a complete removal of microorganisms can be ensured. In particular, nanotechnology is helping to create novel materials for biological applications, including dental biomaterials and devices for short and long-term applications in contact with body fluids and tissues, for which their antimicrobial effect and biocompatibility are demanded. Current available materials have some disadvantages, which show up after a root canal treatment. This is becoming more frequent and represents a high risk of infections in patients undergoing that treatment. It is known that up to 10% of endodontic treatments fail because of existing bacteria colonies. This leads to continuously improve the products used for cleaning and intracanal sealing to ensure complete removal of microorganisms.
