TTP-10 - To The Point Lecture: All-in-one iVac™ Irrigation System. Mastering the Synergistic Effect of Ultrasonic Activation, Apical Negative Pressure, and Constant Irrigation.

With the arrival of NiTi engine-driven files and mechanized instrumentation systems, root canal instrumentation became exponentially faster and somehow more predictable compared to manual instrumentation techniques. However, with the popularization of those files in recent decades, a breach between speedy preparation and infection control becomes evident, especially regarding the time and volume of irrigating fluid during the operation. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that the technical advance arising from NiTi engine-driven files has benefited the endodontic technique. But the question is: What's more important, speed or infection control? This lecture reviews the evidence-based aspects of utmost importance for the irrigation-disinfection phase, discussing positive and negative pressure irrigation techniques and intracanal activation using a three-in-one ultrasonic activation and apical negative pressure system.
