Efficacy of a Newly Introduced Intracanal Medicament (MTA Mixed with Chlorhexidine) Against Enterococcus faecalis Biofilm: An Ex Vivo Experiment

· 0 citations · 2 references

TL;DR

The use of antibiotics as intracanal medicaments can reduce E. faecalis biofilm burden, however, the mixture of MTA and CHX exhibits limited antibacterial efficacy within the root canal system.

Analysis of the effectiveness of different intracanal medications against Enterococcus faecalis: an exploratory study

The persistence of microorganisms in the root canal system is the primary cause of endodontic treatment failure, with Enterococcus faecalis being one of the most prevalent pathogens in persistent infections because of its ability to colonize dentinal tubules and withstand adverse conditions. It aims to evaluate the ant...

Antibacterial efficacy of sodium hypochlorite and surfactant-modified chlorhexidine against Enterococcus faecalis: An in vitro study

All three solutions showed high antibacterial efficacy against E. faecalis, however, 2% CHX was less effective than 5.25% NaOCl and 2% CHX Plus™, although NaOCl showed the lowest absolute residual bacterial counts.

Effect of 2% Chlorhexidine Gel Medicament on Push-out Bond Strength of Epoxy Resin and Bioceramic Sealers in teeth extracted from Diabetics: An In-vitro Study

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) impairs healing, immune function and dentin metabolism, potentially affecting adhesion. Chlorhexidine (CHX) gel is widely used as an intracanal medicament due to its sustained antimicrobial action; however, its influence on sealer bonding in diabetes-altered dentin is unclear. AH Pl...

Comparative study of calcium hydroxide versus triple antibiotic paste as intracanal medicaments

Persistent microorganisms, particularly Enterococcus faecalis, may survive chemomechanical preparation and compromise root canal disinfection, necessitating effective intracanal medicaments. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the 100 patients with necrotic single-rooted teeth, randomly allocated to calcium hydrox...
