| Abstract: |
The aim of this study was to determine the in vitro antimicrobial activity of calcium hydroxide root canal sealer (Apexit) in direct contact with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens and Staphylococcus aureus.The direct contact test (DCT) was performed. The sealer was mixed and placed on the side wall of microtiter plate wells and 10 μl of bacterial suspension (106 bacteria) was placed onto its surface. Bacteria were in direct contact with the sealer for 1 hour at 37°C. BHI broth (250 μl) was then added and the growth of each strain was measured after 1 hour, 6 hours, 20 hours and 24 hours.After 1 hour the number of E. coli and P. aeruginosa decreased to 7-9 x 10 3 and S. marcescens to 7 x 10 2 bacteria. The number of S. aureus was 1.4 x 10 5 bacteria. Six hour samples showed that the number of P. aeruginosa decreased to 10 1 and gram-positive S. aureus to 7.5 x 10 4. After 20 hours only S. aureus (10 1 bacteria) survived after prior contact with Apexit.The 24-hour samples showed complete bacterial growth inhibition of all the bacterial strains tested in DCT with Apexit. |

| Abstract: |
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial properties of three endodontic sealers (AH 26, Ketac-Endo and Apexit) using Direct Contact Test (DCT) and Agar Diffusion Test (ADT). DCT is based on measuring the effect of close contact between test bacteria and tested material, while ADT measures the areas of bacterial growth inhibition and consequently the incidence of microbial resistence of bacteria.The results of DCT showed that all tested materials, apart from Apexit, have antibacterial activity. The diameters of the bacterial growth inhibition zones in ADT demonstrated by Ketac-Endo (x=12.26 ± 1.76 mm), AH 26 (x=5.67 ± 0.66 mm) and Apexit (x=0.80 ± 0.29 mm). |
