Determination of Antimicrobial Efficacy of Calcium hydroxide, Ozonated sesame oil and their combination as intra canal medicament against Enterococcus faecalis – A Study in Fathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Kadapa
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: Among all the microbial organisms Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans were the most commonly seen and most resistant organisms in persistent or failing root canals. Even after chemomechanical preparations and treatment 40 to 70% of the microorganisms survive. Aim: This in vitro study was done to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of intra canal medicament in root canals charged with Enterococcus faecalis. Materials and methods: Forty eight extracted human single rooted teeth were taken. Biomechanical preparations and access preparations were done. Specimens were sterilized by autoclaving and later contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis and incubated for 24 hours. Confirmation of Enterococcus faecalis was done and then divided into 3 experimental and 2 control groups. Groups (n=12) A) Ozonized Sesame Oil, B) Calcium Hydroxide, C) Calcium Hydroxide + Ozonised Sesame Oil. Control groups Group 1:- (n=6) Negative Control, Group 2:- (n=6) Positive Control. Intra canal medicament was placed in each root canal corresponding to the groups and incubated at 370C. First sampling was done after 24 hours and second or final sampling was done after 72 hours of placement of intra canal medicament. Microbial growth was checked by counting CFU (Colony Forming Units). Results: In the first sampling ozononised sesame oil was 100% efficient, next efficient was Calcium Hydroxide group, and combination of Ozonised sesame oil and Calcium Hydroxide also showed almost similar results. But in the second and final sampling after 72 hours Ozonised sesame oil was highly efficient when compared to other two groups. Calcium Hydroxide was moderately efficient whereas combination of both the drugs was least effective as it showed highest CFU/ml. Conclusion: Ozonised sesame oil was most effective for longer duration when compared to other groups and can be used as an alternative intra canal medicament.
