In vitro assessment of the effectiveness of chlorhexidine gel and calcium hydroxide paste with chlorhexidine against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans

An in Vitro Evaluation of Antimicrobial Efficacy of 2% Chlorhexidine Gel, Propolis and Calcium Hydroxide Against Enterococcus faecalis in Human Root Dentin

“…The use of intracanal medications to disinfect the root canal system has been advocated to enhance the success of root canal treatment [12].…”

Antibacterial effect of triantibiotic mixture versus calcium hydroxide in combination with active agents against Enterococcus faecalis biofilm

“…CH is widely used as intracanal medication due to its organic tissue dissolution potential 26) , antibacterial activity 27) , and antiinflammatory capacity 28) . Since CH is ineffective in elimination of some microorganisms such as E. faecalis, to improve its antibacterial activity, it has been combined with other materials [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] . In the present study, to evaluate the combination potential of CH, it was combined with two established endodontic irrigants (CHX, NaOCl) and COL a medication with possible antibacterial potentials.…”

“…This model provides reconstruction of the microanatomy of dentin, simulates the chemical environment of the root canal system, and allows biofilm development 40) . Numerous studies have evaluated the antibacterial effect of CH alone or in combination with different materials using the dentin block model [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] . However, there is still controversy on whether combination of CH with other active agents enhances its antibacterial potential.…”

“…These results can be due to the similar pH values of CH solutions when combined with other irrigants or medications (Table 2). In contrast, many studies lend support to the CH combination procedures [31][32][33][34]38) . According to these studies, this improved antibacterial effectiveness might be due to the additive or synergistic effect of CH mixed with selected materials.…”

Evaluation Of Antimicrobial Effect Of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate On Various Microorganisms

“…1,3,6 Persiste kalan bu mikroorganizmalar kök kanal tedavisinin endodontik tedavinin başarısızlığında büyük rol oynamaktadırlar. 4 İnatçı endodontik enfeksiyonların temel patojenlerinden olan enterokokların en önemli özelliği; Gram pozitif bakteri enfeksiyonlarının tedavisinde kullanılan birçok antimikrobiyal ajana karşı kısmi veya tam direnç göstermeleridir.…”
