Abstract: PURPOSE: To compare the efficiency of negative pressure irrigation and conventional syringe irrigation and evaluate the possibility as a new way of irrigation. METHODS: In vitro silicone socket model was used to simulate the resistance of apical flow by apical surrounding tissues. The in vitro efficacy on apical extrusion and E.faecalis elimination between negative pressure irrigation and conventional syringe irrigation was compared. SPSS 17.0 software package was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Negative pressure irrigation extruded less (P<0.05), and was more effective in E.faecalis elimination(P<0.05) than conventional syringe. CONCLUSIONS: Negative pressure irrigation is a promising irrigation technique during root canal therapy.

Key words: Apical negative pressure irrigation, Conventional syringe irrigation, Apical extrusion, E.faecalis
