Abstract
Sodium hypochlorite is the most popular irrigati ng
soluti on. In concentrati ons between 0.5% and 6% it is a
potent anti microbial agent, killing most bacteria instantly
on direct contact.
The Aim of this study was to investi gate the possibility
of using some bleach soluti ons for root canal irrigati on.
Methods: Because of its low price, bleach is widely
used in F.Y.R.O.M. Alkaloid AD Skopje produces 10% and
20% Sodium hypochlorite disinfectant soluti on that is
used in the food industry diluted with water in various
concentrati ons. The Varakina bleach which is a solvent
of sodium hypochlorite with a scent of lemon is used
for whitening laundry and bed linen. The samples of
commercial soluti ons were taken from the market and
tested on the presence and concentrati on of heavy
metals as impuriti es.
The atomic absorpti on spectrophotometry (AAS) is used
for determinati on of heavy metals in tested soluti ons.
Results: Results were compared to the German code
standard which allows not more than 20 ppm of heavy
metals in hypochlorite soluti ons used for irrigati on.
The obtained results showed that the concentrati ons of
heavy metals in the tested samples were below maximum
allowed concentrati ons for the tap water.
Conclusions: It can be concluded that commercial
soluti ons can be used for root canal irrigati on but onlyaft er checking the quality of the product on the content
of heavy metals as impuriti es. The quality of the product
can also be evaluated from the batch quality certi fi cate
from the producer. It is recommended to use purifi ed
water to obtain desired diluti on. However, it is always
safer to use products specially designed for stomatologic
use than commercial sodium hypochlorite products for
other purposes.
