Fructus mume Aqueous Extract's Antibacterial Effect on Multi-species Biofilm

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy several irrigants and an aqueous extract Fructus mume in eradicating three kinds biofilm. Materials Methods: A three-species biofilm E. faecalis, P. gingivalis F. nucleatum were cultivated for one week on Thermanox™ plates. Each specimen immersed 8 minutes various irrigants: solution, buffered citric acid, sodium hypochlorite control (non-irrigated). LIVE/DEAD® BacLightTM staining confocal light scanning microscopy used number viable bacteria left substrate. same then extracted subjected electron (SEM). Results: Images taken at 12 locations across biofilm, which classified into four areas concern: Bottom, would spend most experiment submerged solution; It struck centre by stream irrigant.; Middle Upper, where impression caused irrigant splattering or vaporizing. Results amount residual indicated that showed no significant activity, with effect like even significantly inferior hypochlorite. Conclusion: Sodium (0.5%) solution greater group as antimicrobial agent against
