ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of 6% Morinda citrifolia, Azadirachta indica, and 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as root canal irrigants. Materials and Methods: Thirty nonvital maxillary anteriors were randomly assigned to one of the three groups corresponding to the irrigant to be tested; 6% Morinda citrifolia juice (MCJ) (n = 10), A. indica (n = 10) and 3% NaOCl (n = 10). After the root canal access opening a root canal culture sample was taken with two paper points and cultured under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Cleaning and shaping were completed with irrigation by 10 mL of respective irrigants and 5 mL of final rinse. The patients were recalled after 3 days and canals were rinsed again with 5 mL of the test irrigants. This was followed by obtaining a posttreatment root canal culture sample and culturing and analyzed by counting the colony forming units (CFUs). Results: Six percentage MCJ, A. indica, and 3% NaOCl showed a significant reduction (P < 0.05) in the mean CFU counts for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria between baseline and 3 days. Conclusion: There was no difference in the antimicrobial efficacy of 6% M. citrifolia, A. indica, and 3% NaOCl as root canal irrigants.

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.

ABSTRACT Aim This study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) and BioPure MTAD when used as a final rinse against Enterococcus faecalis. Materials and methods Sixty single-rooted premolars were biomechanically prepared, inoculated with E. faecalis and divided into various groups. These were then irrigated with the test irrigants and tested microbiologically for growth of E. faecalis immediately after irrigation and after 48 hours. Results Statistical analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the antibacterial activities of BioPure MTAD, 2% CHX and 5.25% NaOCl at 5 minutes; however, the antibacterial activities of the three irrigants were comparable after 2 days of irrigation Conclusion The present study concludes that BioPure MTAD is as effective against E. faecalis as 5.25% NaOCl and more effective than 2% CHX. Clinical significance E. faecalis is one of the most resistant intracanal species and a possible cause of root canal failure. Many authors have stressed the importance of using antimicrobial irrigants during chemomechanical preparation to ensure complete disinfection. Therefore, various irrigating solutions have been used during and immediately after root canal preparation to remove debris and necrotic pulp tissue and to eliminate microorganisms that cannot be reached by mechanical instrumentation.
