In Vitro Alteration by Dentine and Protein of the Antimicrobial Activity of Two Endodontic Irrigants: HybenX® and Sodium Hypochlorite.
Riccardo Pace , Fabio Morecchiato , Luca Giovannini , Luca Di Nasso, Valentina Giuliani , Debora Franceschi, Gabriella Pagavino, Gian Maria Rossolini, and Alberto Antonelli.
In the present study, HybenX® showed a significant bactericidal activity against E. faecalis ATCC 29212 with extremely rapid action within 15 min (comparable to what was observed with NaOCl at different concentrations), and its effectiveness was not inhibited by the presence of organic (BSA) and/or inorganic (DP) substances even at low concentrations.
Analysis of dentinal erosion and removing smear layer of different irrigation protocols: an in vitro study.
Riccardo Pace, Luca Di Nasso, Lucia Tauro, Andrea Nizzardo, Gabriella Pagavino, Valentina Giuliani.
Our observations showed that, under these experimental conditions, the use of HybenX, was able to effectively remove the smear layer after irrigating the canal with 5% sodium hypochlorite.

The effects of a desiccant agent in the treatment of chronic periodontitis: a randomized, controlled clinical trial. J Clin Oral Invest. 17 June 2017 (doi:10.1007/s00784-017-2154-7).
G Isola, G Matarese, RC Williams, VI Siciliano, A Alibrandi, G Cordasco, and L Ramaglia.
Authors conclude that SRP plus the desiccant (HYBENX® Oral Tissue Decontaminant) resulted in a greater reduction in clinical, microbial and inflammatory mediators compared to SRP alone. HYBENX, when combined with SRP, was demonstrated as a significant approach to control the levels of certain periodontal pathogens and inflammatory mediators in patients with CP for the one-year duration of the study.
