Summary

The persistence of blood may significantly affect final sealing with the persistence of microleakage (Zmener et al. 2008, Roggendorf et al. 2007). In cases of copious bleeding from root canals, calcium hydroxide, anesthetic solution with 1:50,000 epinephrine or ferric sulfate placed on a sterile paper cone, are recognized as effective hemostatic agents (Magnusson 1971, Kouri et al. 1969, Dannenberg 1974). The purpose of this study was to test the reduction of root canal bleeding in terms of significant percentage change for millimeters of blood in the canal at 2 different time points (baseline and after treatment with HybenX )
