Reverse rotary instrumentation in the apical third of the root canal system: An scanning electron microscope analysis

Conclusion: Agitation with reverse rotary instrumentation in the apical third of the root canal along with 1% sodium hypochlorite proved effective in disinfection of the apical third of the root canal, which was further confirmed by scanning electron microscopic analysis. Hence, it can be used as an adjunct during rotary instrumentation in efficient cleansing of the root canal system in the apical third of the root canal system.
