Comparative evaluation of cleaning efficacy of smear layer removal by different irrigating solutions such as 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) with 2.5% NaOCl, 10% citric acid with 2.5% NaOCl and 1% tetracycline Hydrochloride (HCl) with 2.5% NaOCl for smear layer removal in the apical third of root canal.
