Summary

This study tested two different irrigation (rinsing) methods used just before repairing a hole in a tooth's root (furcation perforation). Forty adults with this type of tooth damage received either a chitosan or sodium hypochlorite rinse. Researchers measured pain levels and healing over 9 months to see which approach worked better.
