ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the antimicrobial effect of a new active oxygen fluid (Blue®m) as a root canal irrigant against Enterococcus faecalis compared to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Forty-five extracted single-canaled human teeth were selected, received root canal preparation, autoclaved, and contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis. The specimens were randomly allocated into three groups Group (A) served as the negative control, receiving irrigation with saline (n = 15); Group (B) was irrigated with 5.25% NaOCl (n = 15); and Group (C) was irrigated with 10 mL of Blue®m (n = 15). Microbial sampling from the root canals was performed before and after irrigation. The difference between the pre-irrigation and post-irrigation colony-forming units (CFU/mL) was calculated. The data was analysed using a one-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Tukey tests. The significance level was set at 5%.RESULTS:
Blue®m statistically significantly reduced the bacterial load compared to saline (p = 0.009), but NaOCl was most effective, outperforming both (p 0.0001).CONCLUSION:
Irrigation with Blue®m demonstrated antibacterial efficacy against Enterococcus faecalis, but it was not as effective as NaOCl.Palavras-chave
