The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of EDTA irrigant according to application time and temperature. 31 human mature extracted teeth with a single canal were sectioned with microtome in 3mm thickness and gained 62 samples of root canals. They were distributed randomly into 6 groups of 10 specimens each and control group of 2 specimens. Each specimen was prepared with GT rotary file (Dentsply, Maillefer Co., Swiss) and irrigated with 3 ml sodium hypochlorite every minute. Then smear layer was removed with EDTA solution (PULPDENT$^{\circledR}$, PULPDENT Co., USA.) except two control specimens. Specimens of each group were irrigated with 17% EDTA. The time and temperature of application were as follows : (Table omitted) All specimens were split longitudinally and prepared for examination by scanning electron microscopy. A set of reference micrographs was used to award a debris score as follows: 0 = no smear layer, all tubules clean and open; 1 = no superficial smear layer, tubule openings visible, but some contain debris plug or soft tissue remnants: 2 = moderate smear layer, some tubules open and others closed; 3 = heavy smear layer, most/all tubule openings obscured. Results were evaluated with Kruskal-Wallis test to determine whether there was statistically significant difference among six groups. Pairs of groups were analyzed using the Student-Newman-Keuls Method and Mann-Whitney test. The results were as follows : 1. Control specimens showed heavy smear layer at the canal walls 2. Among the groups applied with EDTA for 2 minutes, group 1 showed the heaviest smear layer, and there was statistically significant difference between group 1 and the other groups(p<0.05). 3. Among the groups applied with EDTA for 5 minutes, group 4 and group 6 showed smear layer but there was no significant difference between them. 4. Among the groups applied with EDTA for the same temperature, group 1 showed heavier smear layer than group 4, and there was statistically significant difference(p<0.05). 5. Among the groups applied with EDTA for the same temperature, group 2 showed heavier smear layer than group 5 and group 3 showed heavier smear layer than group 6. But there was no statistically significant difference among them. From the results above, it could be concluded, EDTA solution is effective in removing of smear layer when it is applied for 5 minutes. If EDTA is applied for 2 minutes, it should be applied above room temperature.

서양산 고추냉이(Horseradish, Armoracia rusticana)의 주성분인 allylisothiocyanate(AIT)는 각종 세균에 대한 살균 효과로 주목받고 있다. 이전 연구들을 통해 구강내 다양한 세균 및 진균류에 대한 항균성이 입증되었으나 근단내 병소를 유발 하는 혐기성 세균에 대한 연구는 미진한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 사람의 근단 병소에서 직접 분리한 E. faecalis와 F. nucleatum에 대한 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 추출물의 항균활성을 표준균주와 비교해보고 이를 대표적인 항균제인 클로르헥시딘과 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 추출물은 E. faecalis 임상 분리균주에 대하여 표준균주와 같거나 약간 높은 농도에서 항균효과를 나타냈고, $625.0\sim1,250.0{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 클로르헥시딘($7.8\sim15.6{\mu}g/ml$)과 대등한 항균효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 추출물은 F. nucleatum 임상 분리균주에 대하여 표준균주와 같거나 약간 높은 농도에서 항균효과를 나타냈고, $78.1\sim312.5{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 클로르헥시딘($7.8\sim15.6{\mu}g/ml$)과 대등한 항균효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이번 연구로 표준균주 뿐만 아니라 구강에서 직접 분리한 혐기성 세균에 대한 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 추출물의 항균성을 확인할 수 있었고, 추후 근관 세척제나 소독제로 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 추출물을 이용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.
