Evaluation of bactericidal effect of strong acid electrolysed water against Enterococcus faecalis and Porphyromonas gingivalis in primary molar root canal: an in vivo study
Abstract:Introduction:Strong acid electrolysed water (SAEW), a root canal irrigant, has shown promise against resistant microorganisms like Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis).Objective: To compare in vivo antimicrobial efficacy of 3% sodium hypochlorite and SAEW against E. faecalis and P. gingivalis in primary teeth.Method: Seventy primary maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth of 4-10 year old children were irrigated either with 3% sodium hypochlorite (n=35) or SAEW (n=3… Show more
