Abstract

The aim of the present article was to evaluate the investigate the antimicrobial activity of 2% Chlorhexidine, 1% NaOCl , Ca(OH)2 and sterile saline against Enterococcus Faecalis infected dentin after a 7 day interval. In this study 80 premolars extracted for orthodontic purpose were used as specimen. The tooth were standardized to a length of 17 mm, the apices sealed with cyanoacrtylate and autoclaved. After with the specimen were autoclaved. They were then transferred to a broth containing E. Faecalis and incubated for 7 days. The chemomechanical preparation of the tooth was done using Race files and the specimens were irrigated with their respective irrigants. The orifices were sealed with cynocarylate and incubated for another 7 days. The coronal end was re accessed and dentinal shaving was collected using a size 5 Gates Glidden drill. The dentinal shaving were cultured and statically analyzed. Results should that though none of the medicaments were able to completely eradicate the bacteria, 2% CHX had the best results, followed by 1% NaOCl followed by Ca(OH)2. . Sterile saline was used as a control.
