| description | Introduction: Preservation of primary tooth with non-vital
pulp has been a major problem for pediatric dentist. In such
cases, the preferred treatment modality is pulpectomy. The
objective of pulpectomy is complete removal of necrotic and
irreversibly infected pulp of an affected tooth but, in spite of
chemomechanical preparation and copious irrigation of canal,
there are chances of failure of pulp therapy due to the entrapped
micro organisms in the canal space owing to the tortuous and
complex nature of the root canal system and change in their
morphology with root resorption. Thus, for optimal success of
endodontic treatment, obturating material with antimicrobial
properties is advocated in deciduous teeth.
Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the antimicrobial
efficacy of different obturating materials used in pediatric
dentistry.
Materials and Methods: In the present study, antimicrobial
efficacy of endoflas, Zinc Oxide Eugenol (ZOE), calcium
hydroxide with chlorhexidine, calcium hydroxide with iodoform
and distilled water, metapex and saline as control were assessed
and compared with each other.
The antimicrobial efficacy of obturating materials was evaluated
against E. faecalis (ATCC 29212) by agar diffusion method. The
statistical analysis was done using SPSS Version 15.0. The
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Post-Hoc Tests (Tukey-HSD)
were performed to reveal the statistical significance.
Results: Intergroup comparison at 24 hours (Tukey’s test)
revealed significant difference amongst all the groups. Endoflas
had significantly higher zone of inhibition as compared to all the
other groups except group treated with ZOE (p-value <0.001).
Conclusion: The antimicrobial activity of obturating materials
according to results obtained from the present study can be
summarized as follows:
Endoflas > ZOE >Calcium hydroxide + Chlorhexidine > Calcium
hydroxide + Iodoform +Distilled water ~ Metapex > Saline. |
