AIM: To evaluate antimicrobial effect of diode laser when used adjunctively with sodium hypochlorite, methylene blue or toluidine blue in Enterococcus faecalis inoculated root canals. METHODOLOGY: 70 extracted uniradicular premolars were prepared with ProTaper files and sterilized. 5 were kept aside as negative control (G1) and the remaining 65 were inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis and incubated for 7 days. Following this, 5 were kept as positive control (G2) and the other 60 were randomly distributed into six groups: G3, diode laser irradiation (1.5W) with sodium hypochlorite; G4, diode laser (3W) with sodium hypochlorite; G5, diode laser (1.5W) with methylene blue; G6, diode laser (3W) with methylene blue; G7, diode laser (1.5W) with toluidine blue; G8, diode laser (3W) with toluidine blue. Subsequently, turbidity was assessed and CFU count determined following intracanal sampling and plating. RESULTS: G4 exhibited significantly lower mean CFUs/mL (P˂0.001) among the experimental groups. G4 demonstrated the most (98.8%) while G7 exhibited the least antibacterial effect (28.66%). Highest turbidity was observed in G5 (0.1310) while the lowest was noted in G4 (0.0287). CONCLUSION: Diode laser used adjunctively with sodium hypochlorite exhibited superior antibacterial efficacy when compared to its use with photosensitizer dyes like methylene blue and toluidine blue.

ABSTRACT Aim To compare the antimicrobial effect of 2% chlorhexidine, 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and MUMS containing 2% chlorhexidine. Materials and methods All of the above irrigants were examined on Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus mutans, Candida albicans, Lactobacillus casei and E.coli. A total of 0.5 CC of each solution and 0.5 CC of McFarland solution bacterium were added to each examination tube. After 15, 30 and 45 minutes, colony count was performed for each tube. The difference in the number of bacteria indicated the effect taken by disinfectant material. Results MUMS containing chlorhexidine showed the antimicrobial properties just like chlorhexidine's effect against E.coli, Streptococcus mutans, Candida albicans, Enterococcus faecalis and Lactobacillus casei in preventing these entire microorganisms to incubate. Sodium hypochlorite was not effective against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans incubated in 15, 30 and 45 minutes and Enterococcus faecalis in 15 minutes. Conclusion MUMS has antimicrobial properties similar to chlorhexidine. Clinical significance As MUMS containing chlorhexidine can transfer chlorhexidine through its own surfactant around apical area and it can open the dentinal tubules by its own chelator for more penetration of chlorhexidine, it may be a choice for canal irrigation.

The aim of the study was to investigate the leukocyte- and platelet-rich plasma (L-PRP) antimicrobial activity. The studied sample comprised 20 healthy males. The L-PRP gel, liquid L-PRP, and thrombin samples were testedin vitrofor their antibacterial properties against selected bacterial strains using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Two types of thrombin were used (autologous and bovine). Zones of inhibition produced by L-PRP ranged between 6 and 18 mm in diameter. L-PRP inhibited the growth ofStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA and MSSA strains) and was also active againstEnterococcus faecalisandPseudomonas aeruginosa. There was no activity againstEscherichia coliandKlebsiella pneumoniae. The statistically significant increase of L-PRP antimicrobial effect was noted with the use of major volume of thrombin as an activator. Additionally, in groups where a bovine thrombin mixture was added to L-PRP the zones of inhibition concerning MRSA,Enterococcus faecalis, andPseudomonas aeruginosawere larger than in the groups with autologous thrombin. Based on the conducted studies, it can be determined that L-PRP can evokein vitroantimicrobial effects and might be used to treat selected infections in the clinical field. The major volume of thrombin as an activator increases the strength of the L-PRP antimicrobial effect.
