<p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="Default" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-align:justify;text-justify:&#10;inter-ideograph;line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;&#10;mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of routinely used irrigating solutions and herbal extracts on fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth. Material &amp; Methods: A total of 60 mandibular incisors were acquired and instrumented using ProTaper nickel-titanium (Dentsply- Maillefer) rotary files till size apical size 30 (F3).These instrumented samples were then randomly divided (n=10), and different irrigating solutions were used;Group I NORMAL SALINE as negative control ,Group II 5 %NAOCL as positive control, Group III<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>2% CHLORHEXIDINE,<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Group IV 3% NAOCL , Group V 10% NEEM extract , Group VI 10% turmeric extract. Thereafter, the root canals were filled by using single gutta-percha cone (size/percentage of taper) and AH Plus (company name, city, country) root canal sealer. The specimens were then prepared and loaded vertically at 1 mm/min crosshead speed until vertical root fracture occurred. Results were evaluated statistically with 1-way analysis of variance and Student</span><span lang="FR" style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;&#10;mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;">&rsquo;</span><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;&#10;mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">s t test. Results: Statistically significant differences were detected among the groups (P &lt; .05). The highest mean fracture resistance was obtained from the group treated with 5% NAOCL for 5 minutes followed by 3% NAOCL, 10 % Neem, 2% CHX, 0.9% Normal Saline, 10 % Turmeric. Conclusions: The fracture resistance of endodontically treated roots were found to be differently affected by the various irrigating solution.Clinical significance:root canal irrigants also play important role in fracture resistance of teeth.</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
