Decontamination of Gutta-percha Cones with Different Chemical Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of various chemical disinfectants in decontamination of gutta-percha (GP) cones contaminated with Bacillus subtilis spores. Sodium hypochlorite solution (4%), glutaraldehyde solution (2%), povidone-iodine solution (5%), and savlon solutions were compared for effectiveness in sterilizing gutta-percha cones contaminated with Bacillus subtilis spores. Microbial assays were carried out after immersing the GP in the experimental solutions for 5, 10 and 15 minutes. It was observed that glutaraldehyde decontaminated the gutta-percha cones in 5 minutes, sodium hypochlorite in 10 minutes while povidone-iodine solution and savlon were not effective even at the end of 15 minutes.

Background and Aim: Care must be taken during root canal therapy to prevent contamination of filling materials and avoid root canal contamination. Gutta-percha cones are now widely used to fill root canals. However they are not resistant to conventional sterilization processes in moist or dry heat. To keep the aseptic chain, gutta-percha cones require rapid chair side decontamination before use...

Background and Aim: Different methods have been proposed for rapid disinfection of gutta-percha (GP) cones. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of low-pressure radiofrequency cold plasma (LRFCP) in disinfection of GP cones compared to three chemical disinfectants. Materials and Methods: Seventy GP cones were allocated to seven groups of 10 each. All samples were initially sterilized with e...

Introduction The most common approach for obturation of roots, which are treated endodontically, is lateral condensation. Finger spreaders have an essential role in packing the gutta-percha cones. We carried out this research to compare the compaction index of root canal obturation obtained with stainless steel (SS) spreader, nickel-titanium (NiTi) spreader, and different gutta-percha tapers. ...

Context: Gutta percha are known to be contaminated during storage and intra operative manipulation. Chair side disinfection of these points is important and critical for success of endodontic therapy. Gutta percha being heat labile, chemical disinfection is the only viable alternative which takes longer time and may leave a residue. Herbal gels are known to have antimicrobial , antiseptic prope...
