Efficacy of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution as endodontic irrigant has been tested. It was reported as comparatively more efficient antimicrobial agent than 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate solution. It has been proposed as tissue solvent. It has bactericidal properties. Effect of time and storage conditions on tissue-dissolving capacity of various concentrations of NaOCl have been evaluated. NaOCl is commonly used for the removal of bloom-forming or biofouling organisms. It has been proposed as algicidal agent.
