The Effect of Different Root Canal Irrigants When Activated With Endoactivator and Manual Dynamic Agitation on Enterococcus Faecalis- A Comparative in Vitro Evaluation

Abstract

Developing a potent irrigant-irrigation activation regimen with maximum desirable properties and minimum adverse effects, also effective against microbial species prevalent in secondary infections, could be a boon to the endodontic fraternity. Aims: To evaluate whether there is any significant difference in the removal of E.faecalis from root canals by three irrigating solutions- Q-Mix, Aloe Vera, NaOCl when combined with two irrigation protocols-Endoactivator, Manual dynamic agitation. Settings and Design: • Tertiary care setting – Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, PMS College of Dental Science and Research, Trivandrum. • Biogenix Lab, Poojapura, Trivandrum. • Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanical Gardenand Research Institute, Palode.
