Popis: | Aim To change and characterize the antibacterial properties of endodontic sealers by incorporating low concentrations of insoluble antibacterial nanoparticles (IABN). Methodology The antibacterial effect against Enterococcus faecalis was evaluated by (i) agar diffusion test (ADT), (ii) direct contact test (DCT) and (iii) scanning electron microscopy (SEM). IABN were incorporated into AH Plus (Dentsply, DeTrey Konstanz, Germany) and GuttaFlow (Coltene Whaledent, Langenau, Germany) at concentrations of 0.5%, 1% or 2% weight/weight. Bacterial growth rates were analysed using ANOVA followed by Tukey's test. Results The antibacterial tests demonstrated total bacterial growth inhibition using AH Plus samples incorporating 2% weight/weight IABN after 4 weeks (P |
