ResumoO’Brien3 and others have shown the wettability of the solutions to be important to the penetration of these solutions into the small spaces formed by the dentin. It is probable, therefore, that the wettability of endodontic irrigating solutions is of primary importance in their penetration of the main and lateral canals and predentin dentinal tubules. percent sodium hypochlorite, 5.25 percent sodium hypochlorite, and ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA). The surface tension was reduced by adding the chemical polysorbate 80.
