Summary:To evaluate the bactericidal effect for anaerobes of infected root canals using Chinese medicine agent Jieeryin combing with ultrasonic technique. 60 single-rooted teeth in patients with chronic periapical periodotitis were divided into 3 groups randomly, 20 in each. Hand instruments were used for group 1 as control group of traditional treatment. Ultrasound with saline as irrigant were used for group 2 as control group. Ultrasound with Jieeryin as irrigant were used for group 3 as experimental group. The pre-instrumentation and post-instrumentation specimens of each root canal were placed into the anaerobic chambers and incubated. Significant difference was found between hand instruments group and control group of ultrasound (P < 0.05) and even more significant difference was found between control group of ultrasound and experimental group of ultrasound (P < 0.01). Ultrasound has special superiority on instrumentation and bactericide of root canals. Chinese medicine agent Jieeryin can kill anaerobes in infec
