      <dc:description>The purpose of this study was to test the antimicrobial activity and the smear layer removal of different irrigation protocols-sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), NaOCl followed by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and NaOCl combined with etidronic acid (HEBP)-against infected dentine tubules during root canal preparation. Single rooted premolars contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis were chemomechanically prepared. Depending on the irrigation protocols, the roots were divided into the following groups: (1) distilled water during and after instrumentation; (2) 2.5% NaOCl during and after instrumentation; (3) 2.5% NaOCl/9% HEBP during and after instrumentation; and (4) 2.5% NaOCl during instrumentation followed by 17% EDTA after instrumentation. The percentage of dead cells and the biovolume in infected dentine tubules were measured using confocal laser scanning microscopy and the live/dead technique. Smear layer removal on root canal wall surfaces was observed by means of scanning electron microscopy. Results were compared through parametric tests (p &lt; .05). The groups NaOCl, NaOCl/HEBP, and NaOCl+EDTA exerted the highest antimicrobial activity (p > .05), followed by the group irrigated with water. All the irrigation protocols-including water-significantly reduced the bacteria biovolume. No dentine tubules free of smear layer were found in the positive control or the 2.5% NaOCl group. With NaOCl/HEBP and NaOCl+EDTA, respectively, 90.41% ± 7.33 and 76.54% ± 15.30 of dentine tubules were free of smear layer (p = .01). NaOCl/HEBP and NaOCl+EDTA exerted an important antimicrobial activity against bacteria inside dentine tubules, lowering the bacteria biovolume and eliminating a high amount of the smear layer, particularly in the NaOCl/HEBP group.</dc:description>
