| Popis: | The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial effects ofdifferent concentration of boric acid in root canals that wereinfected with Enterococcus faecalis biofilms. 104 single-canalpremolar teeth were prepared and then disinfected and sterilized.E.faecalis were inoculated into the root canals and kept at 37°C for24 hours. The re-inoculation procedure was repeated on the first,fourth, seventh and tenth days with fresh culture. The infected rootcanals were divided into one negative (saline), one positive(sodium hypochlorite) control group, and three experimentalgroups (boric acid; 2%, 4% and 6%) (n=20). Paper points wereplaced in root canals before and after irrigation to control andevaluate the biofilm formation. Biofilms were counted on bloodagar plates, and the data were evaluated and statistically analyzedusing one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test. There were statisticallysignificant differences among three experimental group (boricacid; 2%, 4% and 6%). Although 6% concentration of boric acidindicated the highest antibacterial effect, it could not exhibit thesame antibacterial effect as NaOCl. As a new product boric acidindicated considerable bactericidal effect against E.faecalisbiofilms. However, the use of boric acid can be advisable with highconcentrations and long irrigation time for root canals disinfection. |
