This study evaluated the penetration of irrigant subject to activation after performing retro-preparation in endodontic microsurgery. Forty mandibular premolars were prepared and filled. Subsequently, 1 mm from root apex was cut using a multi-blade bur performed. In group 1, retro-cavity cleaned with 2 mL saline then 5.25% NaOCl gel mixed 0.1% Rhodamine B. 2, saline, 17% EDTA activated ultrasonically for 30 s B s. After 7 days, roots at 1mm slices confocal laser scanning microscopy. The samples showed statistically better results. protocol proposed resulted enhanced when compared traditional.
