The objective of root canal treatment is to prepare a clean, microbe- and debris-free canal for obturation.1 In addition to a proper root canal preparation and disinfection, an effective coronal and apical sealing ensures a long-term and successful endodontic treatment.2 A fluid tight seal for the entire root canal system is proposed as it prevents percolation of fluid from inflamed periapical tissues into inappropriately obturated canals.1 Though instruments are important in the removal of the infected dentin from the main canal, irrigants are crucial in areas inaccesible to instruments, such as lateral and accessory canals as well as fins and webs all over the canal.3Root canal irrigants serve multiple purposes during chemo-mechanical procedures as antimicrobial agents, dissolve organic tissue remnants, lubricate the dentinal walls and aid in flushing out debris, simultaneously assisting in the removal of the smear layer.4 Increased adhesion and sealing capacity is achieved after elimination of the smear layer.5
