ABSTRACT:Purpose: The aim of the present study was to assess the clinical practices of various irrigating solutions amongst house surgeons of Karachi, Sindh.
Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the practices of house surgeons regarding irrigation solutions used in endodontics in dental institutes of Karachi.

All returned forms were evaluated and analyzed for frequency and percentages using SPSS version 22.
