Periapical periodontitis is a major disease, and difficult to achieve successful treatment in some cases. Therefore, root canal irrigation is one of the most important processes to successful endodontic treatment. Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution is the most commonly used root canal irrigate. However using NaOCl solution on endodontic treatment should be considered its problems such as allergy, serious tissue damage when inadvertently injected into the maxillary sinus or oral mucosa. Therefore, another root canal irrigant that is safe and has a high antimicrobial effect is desirable. In this study, Hypochlorous Acid (HClO) water was used to evaluate the microbicidal efficacy of the Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and considered the possibility to be a future root canal irrigant candidate. Original (200ppm), 10% diluted (20ppm), 25% diluted (50ppm) and 50% diluted (100ppm) HClO water were used in this study. Each experimental solution was mixed with low concentrations (5×107 CFU/ml) or high concentration (5×109 CFU/ml) of E. faecalis at 30 seconds, 1minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes respectively. Then they were placed onto BHI agar plates and incubated for 48 h at 37 ºC, followed by counting the number of Colony formation. The results showed that in the condition of 5×107 CFU/ml E.faecalis, no colony formation was shown within 30 seconds by 50 % diluted HClO water. Whereas only original water was attained to inhibit colony formation completely within 30 seconds under the density of 5×109 CFU/ml E, faecalis. In conclusion, 200ppm HClO water has a capacity to anti-microbiological effect against E.faecalis same as NaOCl solution.

The failure of a root canal treatment can be caused by the facultative anaerobic bacteria Enterococcus faecalis, which should be eliminated throughout root canal irrigation. Chlorhexidine 2% is a popular antibacterial liquid used in root canal irrigation. Natural substances can also be used to make antibacterial irrigation liquids. One natural substance with antibacterial properties is lerak fruit extract (Sapindus rarak DC), containing 28 per cent of saponins, alkaloid compounds, polyphenols, antioxidant chemicals, and flavonoid groups and tannins. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of 25% lerak fruit extract (Sapindus rarak DC) against E. faecalis compared to 2% Chlorhexidine. This study is a pure experimental study using the agar diffusion method against three experimental groups chlorhexidine 2% as a positive control, lerak fruit extract (Sapindus rarak DC) as a treatment group, and aquadest as a negative control. Each group was repeated ten times on Muller Hinton Agar (MHA) media which was applied using a paper disc. Then the diameter of the inhibition zone was calculated using a caliper. The results in this study, 25% lerak (Sapindus rarak DC) fruit extract had an average inhibition zone diameter of 11.775 mm, and an average inhibition zone diameter of 2% chlorhexidine was 19.745 mm. The difference in the diameter of the inhibition zone was significantly different in all groups. Conclusion ethanol extract of lerak fruit (Sapindus rarak DC) 25% can inhibit the growth of E. faecalis and can be used as an alternative to other antimicrobial agents as disinfection of root canal irrigation.

Enterococcus faecalis is one of bacteria which have resistance against the pulp tissue defense mechanism and oftenfound in endodontic infections. This bacterial is may hold good colonization, can survive in the root canal withoutother bacteria, and is capable of producing toxins directly or through the induction of inflammation. Betel leaf (Piperbetle Linn)contain essential oils, as the main components of the essential oils are phenols and compounds, amongother derivate such as kavikol compound that has bactericidal five times stronger than phenol. Phenol disrupts threedimensional structure of the bacterial protein to be a random structure and denatured protein, and damages biologicalactivity. Chlorhexidine has been shown to be effective against Enterococcus in the root canal irrigation. Betel leaf canbe chosen as an alternative material root canal irrigation saline. This in vitro experimental laboratory study is aimedto determine the effectiveness of anti-bacterial extracts of betel leaf for E.faecalis bacteria. The minimum inhibitoryconcentration of betel leaf extract is determined by observing the lowest concentration that was first seen clearly,namely 20%. The assay method of these anti-bacterial effect used diffusion method to comparing the inhibition zonebetel leaf extract solution in concentration of 20% be compared 0.2% chlorhexidine, 2% chlorhexidine, and distilledwater. Each group performed eight times repetition respectively. Data analysis used one way anova test followed byLSD test. From this research, it was concluded that 2% chlorhexidine has antibacterial effect for E.faecalis better thanbetel leaf extract and 0.2% chlorhexidine.
