Assessment of Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties of Root-End Filling Materials
Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Sciences - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to assess the antimicrobial activity of MTA repair (Angelus®), Biodentine (Septodont®), and IRM(Densply®) in microorganisms isolated from the persistent periapical lesion. Materials and Methods: The microorganisms isolated were tested by Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC): 50 µl of saline solution and 100 µl of MTA repair, Biodentine and IRM were used to perform the following dilutions of 1: 2, 1: 4, 1: 8, 1:16, 1:32, 1:64, 1: 128, 1: 256, 1: 512, 1: 1024. After the inoculation of the microorganisms. The culture of S. mitis was carried out on Müeller Hinton agar plates with sheep blood and for C. albicans, sabouraud agar plates, and Chromogenic candida agar Then, incubated at 37 °C for 24 h. To assess their growth Results: For C. albicans MTA repair demonstrated growth at 1:64 dilution, Biodentine: 1: 512 dilution, and IRM: 1: 1024 dilution. For S. mitis Biodentine, MTA repair and IRM demonstrated growth at: 1: 1024 dilution. Conclusion: MTA repair (Angelus) Biodentine (Septodont) and IRM were effective inhibiting C. albicans and S. mitis at their original concentrations, however, IRM and Biodentine had a greater antifungal effect than MTA when subjected to higher dilutions.
