暑い日が続きますね。

皆さん夏バテはしていないでしょうか？

今回はヒポクロの抗菌性と肩を並べるもう一つの効能、

「組織溶解性」つまり有機質溶解作用についての論文です。

The solvent action of sodium hypochlorite on fixed and unfixed necrotic tissue

This study was carried out to answer the questions concerning the percentage of sodium hypochlorite needed to dissolve necrotic tissue and parachlorophenol- or formaldehyde-fixed necrotic tissue and the effect of the combined use of sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide.

The results of this investigation indicate that a 3 percent concentration of sodium hypochlorite is optimum for the production of an adequate solvent action on necrotic tissue. A combination of sodium hypochlorite with 3 percent hydrogen peroxide did not result in an increased solvent action; therefore, their simultaneous use is not recommended.

根管内の有機質の内、壊死歯髄にターゲットを絞ったこの研究では、

濃度が3%のNaOClがその溶解に最も適していたということです。
