Evaluation of needle movement effect on root canal irrigation using a computational fluid dynamics model

Abstract Background Irrigation is considered to be a critical part of root canal treatment. However, little is known about the effect of needle movement on the irrigation process. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of the syringe and needle movement on root canal irrigation usi...
