ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The intracanal metallic post, for many years, was the most used intracanal retainer and the best choice to restore endodontically treated teeth, showing until today high rates of success scientifically proven, good adaptation at the configuration of the root canal and resistance.Objective:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of some chemical substances in the decontamination of these intracanal metallic posts. Material andmethods:
Twenty intracanal metallic posts were divided into 6 experimental groups and 1 control group with 3 specimens each. The groups were divided into G1 (apple cider vinegar), G2 (0.12% chlorhexidine liquid), G3 (2% chlorhexidine gel), G4 (70° ethyl alcohol), G5 (2.5% sodium hypochlorite), and G6 (2% glutaraldehyde). For the control group was used saline solution. Each intracanal metallic post was submerged in your respective substance for 3 minutes and subjected to a smear dried sterile gauze. Immediately after this procedure the specimens were individually placed into tubes containing culture medium broth Brain Heart Infusion (BHI). The set of tubes containing the intracanal metallic post submerged in BHI were taken to the dry out machine and kept there at 37ºC for 48 hours.Results:
The tubes that showed turbidity of BHI broth were considered positive, or contaminated.Conclusion:
The methodology used in this study showed that all the disinfectants substances utilized were effective in decontaminating of the metallic post.
