In endodontic documentation, which irrigants are typically listed?

• A. Irrigants used (NaOCl)
• B. Antibiotics prescribed
• C. Mouthwash brand
• D. Vitamin supplements

Answer: (A)

Endodontic documentation should clearly record the agents actually used to irrigate the canal during the procedure, including the specific irrigant and, if relevant, its concentration and method of activation. Sodium hypochlorite is the standard irrigant because of its strong antimicrobial properties and tissue-dissolving ability, so noting the irrigants used (often NaOCl) best reflects what was done clinically. Other options don’t fit because antibiotics prescribed belong in the medication record, home-care products like mouthwash are not intraoperative irrigants, and vitamin supplements aren’t part of the irrigation documentation.
