Abstract EN
Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation (PUI) represents one of the most used systems to improve the endodontic irrigants activity.
PUI acts increasing the reaction rate of NaOCl, with an increase of dentinal debris and smear layer removal.
There is a stronger shear stress and a vapor lock reduction.
Aim of this systematic review was to figure out the effects of the PUI on the vapor lock removal, during irrigation.
Literature research has been carried out by two reviewers, consulting online databases such as PubMed, EBSCO, and Google Scholar, using keywords like Vapor Lock, Vapour Lock, and Vapor Lock Endodontic.
The articles list has been screened based on titles and abstracts, applying eligibility and inclusion criteria.
The three articles were eligible for quantitative and statistical analysis, by using RevManager Software Version 5.3.
Results show statistical heterogeneity (P=0.08; I2 index=61%) in the vapor lock elimination between the use of PUI and PPI, with an overall Odds Ratio=0.08, CI=95% [0.03;0.25].
PUI resulted to be a useful technique to improve NaOCl activity for vapor lock removal, despite PPI alone using a needle.
