COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF EFFICACY OF ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE AND ALOEVERA SOLUTIONS AS ROOT CANAL IRRIGANTS
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The removal of pulpal and dentinal debris and the elimination of viable microorganisms from the root canal system are of paramount importance during endodontic therapy. It has been reported that viable bacteria remain within the canal system even after chemomechanical preparation. The present study was planned to compare efficacy of antimicrobial properties of sodium hypochlorite and aloe vera solutions as root canal irrigants. Materials and methods: For the study, 30 extracted teeth were collected. Only single rooted teeth were selected and teeth having defects such as calcifications, internal and external resorption, cracks, etc were excluded from the study. The working lengths of the teeth were determined using K-file (number 15). For irrigation of canals with different solutions, 80% Aloe Vera solution and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite solution were prepared. Now, the teeth were divided into 3 groups with 10 teeth in each group: The Aloe Vera Group; The Normal Saline Group; and the Sodium Hypochlorite Group. Results: The difference of antibacterial effects on E. faecalis of the Aloe Vera group and the normal saline group were non-significant. In comparison to these two groups, the sodium hypochlorite group showed statistically significant antibacterial effect on E. faecalis. Conclusion: From the results of present study, we concluded that Sodium hypochloriote is best suited for irrigating root canal with E. faecalis infection in comparison to aloe vera solution.
