Antimicrobial efficacy of octenidine hydrochloride, MTAD and chlorhexidine gluconate mixed with calcium hydroxide.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate whether mixing with calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] affects the antimicrobial action of Octenidine hydrochloride (Octenisept), MTAD and chlorhexidine against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans. MATERIALS AND METHODS Freshly grown cultures of Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans and a mixture of both strains were incubated in a...
متن کاملAntimicrobial effect and pH of chlorhexidine gel and calcium hydroxide alone and associated with other materials.
The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) gluconate gel, calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] and their combination with iodoform and zinc oxide powder as intracanal medications against select microorganisms, and to measure the pH changes caused by these medications. Antimicrobial activity was determined by the agar diffusion method. The zones of growth inhi...
متن کاملOctenidine: antimicrobial activity and clinical efficacy
Concerted efforts by healthcare professionals and heightened public awareness has reduced the incidence of hospital-acquired infections in recent years. For example, the number of reports of meticillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteraemia in England declined by 52% between January and March 2009, and January and March 2011.

متن کاملAntimicrobial efficacy of 3 oral antiseptics containing octenidine, polyhexamethylene biguanide, or Citroxx: can chlorhexidine be replaced?
BACKGROUND Use of oral antiseptics decreases the bacterial load in the oral cavity. OBJECTIVE To compare the antimicrobial activity of 3 novel oral antiseptics with that of chlorhexidine, which is considered the "gold standard" of oral hygiene. DESIGN Comparative in vitro study. METHODS Four common oral microorganisms (Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus mutans, Candida albicans, and F...
متن کاملEffectiveness of a 2% chlorhexidine solution mixed with calcium hydroxide against Candida albicans.
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the in vitro susceptibility of Candida albicans to a mixture of chlorhexidine and calcium hydroxide using a tube dilution test. A suspension containing C. albicans was exposed to 2% chlorhexidine solution, calcium hydroxide paste and 2% chlorhexidine mixed with calcium hydroxide in plastic tissue culture wells. The tested agents were incubated wi...
