AIM To evaluate and compare antimicrobial effect of various root canal medicaments against Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six root canal medicaments: 2% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), EDTA, MTAD and propolis and three microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Cand...

Background: Apple cider vinegar potentially can be used as an alternative to irrigation solutions because of its antibacterial compounds that inhibit Enterococcus faecalis, a pioneer bacteria cause root canal treatment failure. One the ideal solution requirements is it isn’t toxic oral cavity tissues, so it’s necessary run cytotoxicity test on apple solution. Cytotoxicity initial part evaluatio...

Ultrasonic irrigation of the root canal can be performed with or without simultaneous ultrasonic instrumentation. When canal shaping is not undertaken the term passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) can be used to describe the technique. In this paper the relevant literature on PUI is reviewed from a MEDLINE database search. Passive ultrasonic irrigation can be performed with a small file or smoot...

Chlorhexidine is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent, which has been into used in the dental practice as major anti plaque agent. not only shows property of substantivity, but due to its property, it various oral diseases. Different uses chlorhexidine are, prime most antiplaque can be root canal irrigant during process treatment, prevention caries results suppression streptococcus mutans cavit...

BACKGROUND Root canal irrigation carries a risk of extrusion of irrigant into the periapical tissues which can be associated with pain, swelling, and tissue damage. Studies have shown less extrusion with sonic or apical negative pressure devices compared with syringe and side-port needle or passive ultrasonic irrigation with continuous irrigant flow. This study aimed to evaluate the effectivene...
