Efficacy of sodium hypochlorite and peracetic acid in sanitizing green coconuts

Antimicrobial activity of Chlorhexidine, Peracetic acid and Sodium hypochlorite/etidronate irrigant solutions against Enterococcus faecalis biofilms.

AIM To evaluate the antimicrobial effect of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite alone (NaOCl) and associated with 9% HEBP (NaOCl/HEBP), 2% peracetic acid (PAA) and 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), on the viability of Enterococcus faecalis biofilms attached to dentine. METHODOLOGY Biofilms of E. faecalis were grown on the surface of dentine blocks for 5 days and then exposed to the irrigating solutions for 3 min....

Efficacy of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine against Enterococcus faecalis

Dear Editor, We thank Professors Fedorowicz & Sequeira for letter concerned on the systematic review Efficacy of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine against Enterococcus faecalis. The authors’ intention was to cite the Cochrane Collaboration as a model for performing the systematic review to situate the readers in relation to the type of study developed, because few systematic reviews were pu...

In-Vitro Comparison of Antibacterial Efficacy of a New Irrigation Solution Containing Nanosilver with Sodium Hypochlorite and Chlorhexidine

Objective: Antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticles have recently come into the spotlight in endodontic therapy. This study was conducted aiming at comparing the antimicrobial activity of a new irrigation solution containing nanosilver particles with that of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine against Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans...
