Antimicrobial activity of different concentrations of NaOCl and chlorhexidine using a contact test

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze the in vitro antimicrobial activity of sodium hypochlorite (1% and 5%) and chlorhexidine (0.12%, 0.5% and 1%). Bacterial samples (ATCC) of Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum were submitted to a contact test. Solutions were evaluated at different time intervals: immediately, 5 min, 15 min, and 30 min after contact and repeated 10 times. The results of the contact test showed that 0.12% chlo… Show more

“…However, most of researchers applied the CHX for 60 seconds. 19 In a study conducted by Sassone et al, 27 the antimicrobial effects of different concentrations of CHX (0.12, 0.5, and 1%) after immediate, 5-, 15-, and 30-minute applications were evaluated. They found that 0.12% CHX did not eliminate Enterococcus faecalis at any time interval and therefore recommended using CHX at a concentration greater than 0.12%.…”

“…27,63,64 Vianna et al 65 found the application of 5.25% NaOCl solution for 15 seconds to eliminate Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Porphyromonas endodontalis, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Prevotella intermedia. However, the antimicrobial activity of NaOCl has been reported to be affected by the concentration of the solution.…”

“…Ten experiments for each of the solutions in accordance with Crémieux and Fleurette method were performed (27). For this analysis, 1mL of the bacterial suspension was kept in contact during 5 minutes and 30 minutes under continuous stirring at 180 rpm with 1mL of each solution (EG or the respective controls).…”
