Introduction: This present research aimed to assess the in vitro antimicrobial efficacy of triple antibiotic paste and calcium hydroxide with two different vehicles against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis). Materials and Methodology: An agar well diffusion assay was used to determine the experimental medicaments' efficacy against E. faecalis. Medicaments were divided into six groups, which includes Triple antibiotic powder (TAP) with saline or chitosan, Double antibiotic powder with fungicide (DAP 1) with saline or Chitosan, and calcium hydroxide with saline or Chitosan. These medicines were tested in an agar well diffusion test for three days, i.e., 1,4,7 days. The diameters of growth inhibition zones were recorded and compared for each group were tested in an agar well diffusion test for three days, i.e., 1,4,7 days. The diameters of growth inhibition zones were recorded and compared for each group. These medicaments were evaluated for three days an agar well diffusion test, i.e., on 1,4,7 days. The inhibition zones diameters for each group were recorded and compared — the differences between groups analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: The largest inhibition zones were observed for the triple antibiotic powder with chitosan and the smallest for Ca(OH)2 with saline. As days progress, they produced lesser antibacterial effects in all groups. Conclusion: Triple antibiotic paste and Chitosan were more effective in eliminating microorganisms than calcium hydroxide and DAP 1.

Aim.This study aims to identify the efficacy of different intracanal medication formulations existing in end of endodontic therapy’s failure, and related to strains of Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus in Petri plates. Materials and methods. It was used diffusion test in agar where each Petri plate with the inoculated bacteria. Perforations of approximately 4 mm deep by 5 mm in diameter were made to prepare where the intracanal drug (25 µl) to be tested. The diameters of the bacterial inhibition zones were measured and registered to each tested medication at the period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 and 14 days respectively. Results. All the medications promoted inhibition halos. The inhibition halos were represented in mm. A higher elimination of micro-organisms can be significantly achieved through the association of different substances in the formulation of an intra canal medication, with emphasis to Ca (OH)2 combined with nitrofurazone and magnesium oxide respectively. Conclusion. Cleaning and shaping of the root canal system associated with the chemical combination of Ca (OH) 2 with antiseptic pastes or solutions considerably reduce the bacterial load.
