Comparative Evaluation of Antimicrobial Efficacy of Three Irrigating Solutions for Root Canal Treatment - An In Vitro Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: Complete elimination of microorganisms from root canal system is one of the most important objectives in endodontic therapy. This cannot be achieved until all the pulp tissue, and bacteria’s present in dentinal tubules have been removed. Use of irrigating solution plays an important role in cleaning and shaping of the root canal. Sodium hypochlorite along with various other irritants has been used successfully in the removal of debris and killing microorganisms. Aims and Objectives: To compare the antimicrobial efficacy of three different type of irrigating solutions. Materials and Methods: Twenty-three pairs of extracted single-rooted teeth were taken for the study. Crown was removed till cementoenamel Junction. Each set was stored in a sterilized vials containing brain heart infusion broth. Enterococcus faecalis was cultured in this vial for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, cleaning and shaping of the root canals were done followed by irrigation of 20 teeth by 3% NaOCl/BioPure MTAD and 20 teeth by 5.25% NaOCl/hydrogen peroxide. 3 pairs were kept as control. Sampling of the teeth was done and was placed in BHI agar culture where the growth of bacteria was studied. Results/Conclusion: About 5.25% NaOCl/hydrogen peroxide had a better antimicrobial action than 3% NaOCl/BioPure MTAD.
