Cover Story: This research aimed to compare the effectiveness of debris and smear layer removal from the post-space using standard irrigation and activated irrigation with heated EDTA, i.e., the “3D Cleaning Protocol”. Removing the smear layer is required to achieve sufficient adhesion between the dentinal walls and the fiber post. Thirty single-rooted teeth were used in the current study. After sample preparation, the specimens were distributed into three groups. In detail, the groups included group 1, where a 3D cleaning technique was used; group 2, where the traditional irrigation method with EDTA was applied; and group 3, where only saline as an irrigant was used. The current research concluded that the EDTA 3D cleaning technique is effective for cleaning the post-space. View this paper
