“…In the present study, propolis showed less bacterial reduction effect than NaOCl, which is in accordance with Asha Nara study. (28) On the other hand, Al-Qathmi and Al-Madi (29) suggested that propolis root canal irrigant was as effective as NaOCl Sample no.…”

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial efficiency of 2 herbal extracts versus 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and saline in eliminating Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) bacteria within infected primary root canals. Materials and Methods: Forty roots of extracted lower primary molars were obtained and divided into 4 groups according to the type of irrigant: Group 1 (control) NaOCl 2.5%, Group 2 (12.5% turmeric irrigant), and Group 3 (25% propolis irrigant) and Group 4 (saline). Root canals were contaminated with E. faecalis bacteria. Bacterial counts were performed from samples that were taken from each canal pre-irrigation and post-irrigation. Data was analyzed using ttest and ANOVA. Results: There were statistical differences between all groups; NaOCL and turmeric extract showed a high effective reduction of a bacterial number followed by propolis. A slight reduction of E. faecalis was demonstrated following saline irrigation. Conclusions: All herbal irrigation solutions showed effective eradication of E. faecalis and can be used as an alternative to NaOCL in the irrigation of infected root canals of primary teeth.

“…Although herbal intracanal irrigants have been used in permanent teeth, studies are limited in primary teeth. 16 17 Triphala solution in 10% Dimethyl sulfioxide (DMSO) has good antibacterial effect and can be used as an intracanal irrigant in permanent teeth. 6 No literature is available on the use of triphala in primary teeth.…”

AimTo evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of diode laser, triphala, and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) against Enterococc-cus faecalis contaminated primary root canals.Materials and methodsForty-nine single-rooted human primary teeth were reduced up to cemento-enamel junction and biomechanically prepared. After sterilization, five teeth were selected as negative controls and remaining teeth were inoculated with E. faecalis. The teeth were then randomly divided into four groups. The first group was irradiated with diode laser, the second group was irrigated with sodium hypochlorite, and the third group with triphala solution. The fourth group served as the positive control. The antimicrobial efficacy was tested by collecting transfer fluid saline from the canals and counting the colony forming units (CFUs) of viable E. faecalis on agar plates. The Mann-Whitney test was used to analyze the results, using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 19.ResultsThe results showed that mean bacterial CFU were 8.00 ± 7.87 for laser, 58.60 ± 16.63 for triphala, and 69.80 ± 19.57 for NaOCl. Laser group showed significant reduction in the colony count compared to the other groups. Triphala group showed better antibacterial activity than NaOCl, but the difference was not statistically significant.ConclusionLaser was most effective against E. faecalis and triphala can be used as an alternative disinfectant to NaOCl in primary root canals.How to cite this articleThomas S, Asokan S, John B, Priya G, Kumar S.
