Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
One of the main goals of endodontic treatment is root canal disinfection and to prevent subsequent chances of reinfection. Adjuvant to instrumentation, root canal irrigants are required to eliminate the bacteria found on the root canal walls and lateral canals within the dentinal tubules.The aim is to measure and compare the antibacterial efficacy of ayurvedic and homeopathic drugs against E.Faecalis with different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite.Twenty agar plates were prepared by using Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) in 90mm diameter Petri dishes inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis-American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 29212. 10 ml of each test solution 5.25 % sodium hypochlorite, 3%sodium hypochlorite, triphala, myresticasebifera solutions respectively and normal saline was used as control in one of the well. Plates were incubated aerobically at 37˚C. Results were expressed as per the terms of the diameter of the inhibition zone.Results suggested a statistically significant difference in the zones of inhibition between five irrigating solutions (p < 0.001).Under the circumstances of this in vitro study, Triphala was more effective on cultures of E. faecaliscompared to 3%NaOCl and MyresticaSebifera.
