“…It should provide disinfection, should be efficacious throughout the given period, and pervade through the dentinal tubules annihilating bacteria that maybe present, with little toxicity to the periradicular tissues. [ 8 ] Enterococcus faecalis is the most persistent organism in the periradicular area. It is an unrelenting microbe that resists many intracanal drugs and endures harsh environment in the root canal.…”

Context:Silver nanoparticle (AgNP) is a potent antimicrobial that is widely used in several fields of medicine. Chlorhexidine (CHX) gluconate is a well-known agent used in dentistry to eliminate oral microbial flora.Aims:The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of AgNPs, 2% CHX gluconate, and the combination of two solutions against endodontic pathogens such as Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Candida albicans. These organisms are frequently found in the root canal space and their persistence may lead to endodontic failure. The synergistic effect of the two solutions has been evaluated in this study. The antibiotic gentamycin was taken as the control group.Settings and Design:Agar well diffusion method was used and minimum inhibitory concentration of AgNP was found to be 15 μg/mL. AgNPs were synthesized from the aqueous plant extract of Cassia roxburghii. The combination of CHX-AgNP solution was stirred together by a glass rod. The values were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis using the SPSS software version 20. One-way ANOVA test was used to compare within the groups and between groups. The level of significance was set at 5%.Results:CHX-AgNP combined solution exhibited the highest efficacy in comparison to these solutions used alone. They showed the highest efficacy against C. albicans among the three organisms tested.Conclusion:The present study demonstrates the antimicrobial efficacy of a novel mixture of CHX-AgNP solution, and it may be developed as a promising antimicrobial agent against endodontic flora.

“…Leakage at the apex occurs between the root canal wall and the sealer, between the sealer and the gutta-percha, or within the sealer itself. 2 BioRoot RCS, a new tricalcium silicate-based sealer, was used in this study as it released high levels of calcium, i.e., almost double as compared to the other sealer. It is a water-based sealer and consists of powder and liquid.…”

“…1 It is impossible to obtain complete disinfection of root canal system through chemomechanical method due to the complex anatomy of the root canal system. 2 Intracanal medicaments assist in disinfection of the root canal system. 3 Intracanal medicament should be effective throughout its period of application, penetrate dentinal tubules, eliminate bacteria, and act as a physicomechanical barrier, preventing root canal reinfection and nutrient supply to the remaining bacteria with little toxicity to periradicular tissue.…”

Aims and objectives:The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of different intracanal medicaments on the apical seal of BioRoot root canal sealer (RCS). Materials and methods: One hundred permanent single-rooted teeth were used in this study. All the samples were decoronated at the cementoenamel junction and instrumented in a sequential order from 15 to 50 number k-file. The specimens were randomly divided into five groups containing 20 teeth each. Intracanal medicaments used in this study were Metapex, triple antibiotic paste, Metrogyl DG gel forte (metronidazole gel 1.5% w/w), and curenext gel. For control group following instrumentation, the roots were obturated with laterally compacted gutta-percha with BioRoot RCS. In medicament groups after the period of 14 days, the medicaments were removed. All the four groups were obturated with BioRoot RCS and gutta-percha cones using lateral compaction technique. All the specimens were coated with nail varnish and immersed in 2% methylene blue. Then the specimens were demineralized and diphanized. The cleared teeth were analyzed by means of a stereomicroscope under 10× magnification. All the data were analyzed in SPSS version 18 software (IBM, Chicago, IL, USA). Result: Among all the intracanal medicaments, triple antibiotic paste showed the highest microleakage. When Metpaex and Metrogyl DG gel forte were compared with Curcuma longa, differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Among all the intracanal medicaments, triple antibiotic paste showed the highest microleakage and least was Metapex. Clinical significance: Incomplete removal of medicaments prevents the penetration of sealer into the dentinal tubules and interferes with the normal setting reaction, thus affecting the seal of obturating material leading to microleakage and subsequent treatment failure. Hence, while placing an intracanal medicament, it is important to consider its effect on leakage of the root canal system.

“…Dye extraction method provides more reliable results than dye penetration method since it measures all the dye taken up in the root quantitatively [28] . Additionally, it is better than fluid filtration as it is not diminished by time [29] . Therefore, in the present study, microleakage was checked using dye extraction method.…”

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the sealing ability of Biodentine and Simvastatin for the repair of furcal perforation using dye extraction method. Materials and Methods: Thirty extracted permanent human mandibular first molars were selected. Access cavities were prepared in all first molars while perforations were made at the furcation areas of only twenty five molars. Grouping of samples was done as follows, Group 1 (n = 10) in which perforations were repaired with Biodentine™, Group 2 (n = 10) in which perforations were repaired with Simvastatin, Group 3 (n = 5) in which perforations were left unrepaired (positive control) and Group 4 (n = 5) in which no perforations were done (negative control). The sealing ability in four groups was evaluated using dye extraction method. Statistical analysis was done using One-Way ANOVA test to compare the mean values of the different groups then pairwise comparisons were performed using Tukey's posthoc test. Results: The highest dye absorbance was recorded for the positive control group (0.081 ± 0.013) while the lowest value was recorded for the negative control group (0.003 ± 0.002). The mean value of Biodentine group (0.025 ± 0.009) was significantly lower than Simvastatin (0.069 ± 0.011). Conclusion: Sealing ability of Biodentine is significantly better than Simvastatin in furcal perforation repair.
