Curbing the growth of candida-A comparative in-vitro study
Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Endodontics is the least forgiving branch of dentistry in terms of success or failure. Therefore, re-treatment has become a significant part of today’s endodontic practice. There is a growing evidence showing the presence of fungi especially Candida albicans in root canals of obturated teeth in which endodontic treatment has failed. It has been demonstrated that Candida species are resistant to some medications used in endodontics. The aim of this study was to examine the in-vitro susceptibility of Candida albicans to materials used in endodontics such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2/camphorated paramonochlorophenol (CMCP) /glycerine and chlorhexidine (CHX). MTA and CHX are effective anti-fungal agents each with 67% anti fungal activity while Ca(OH)2/CMCP showed 33% anti-fungal activity.
