US Patent 7014465 Irrigating medium for root canals and method

This invention is the use of an aqueous solution in the preparation of an irrigating medium for use in the treatment of root canals. The aqueous solution is an electro-mechanically activated solution prepared by electrolysis of an aqueous solution of a salt and including an aqueous anion-containing and an aqueous cation-containing solution. The invention also extends to a method for irrigating root canals with the electro-mechanically activated solution, and an irrigating medium comprising the electro-chemically activated solution.
