Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Sciences - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of two root canal irrigantsOctenidine dihydrochloride and herbal Artemisia annua plant extract. Methods: Forty-two maxillary central incisors teeth were selected which were divided into four groups – group A (Octenidine dihydrochloride with saline), group B (only Octenidine dihydrochloride), group C (Artemisia annua with saline), group D (only Artemisia annua). Samples for microbiological culturing were collected after access preparation, after biomechanical preparation, and after final irrigation in each group with the help of paper points. CFU count was observed for both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The results were collected and subjected to a Student t-test. Results: After statistical analysis, it was observed that bacterial reduction was seen in all the groups but the maximum reduction was observed in group A. Conclusion: The results of the present study imply that a highly significant reduction in CFU/ml count was found in subgroup A1. Therefore, within the limitations of the present in-vivo study, Octenidine dihydrochloride can be recommended as an effective root canal irrigant than Artemisia annua plant extract.
