Aim / Objectives: To Compare The Antibacterial Efficacy Of Sodium Hypochlorite, Chloroquick (1-Hydroxyethane 1, 1-Diphosphonic Acid), Ozonated Oil and Chitosan nanoparticle Against 6 week Enterococcus Faecalis Biofilms.
Material And Method: Access opening and biomechanical preparation were performed on 40 freshly extracted mandibular second premolars. The specimens were sterilized; 15 μm of E. faecalis was inoculated into each canal and incubated at 36°C for 6 weeks. Later, specimens were randomly divided into 4 groups of 10 each and following procedures was carried out: (i) Conventional irrigation with 3% NaOCl (ii) Conventional irrigation with Chloroquick (iv) Conventional irrigation with Ozonated oil (iv) Conventional irrigation with Chitosan nanoparticles solution . Samples were collected from each canal using sterile paper points which were deposited in brain heart infusion
broth, and microbiological evaluation was carried out.
Statistical Analysis: One-way ANOVA, post hoc Tukey’s honest significant difference test.
Results: Maximum disinfection was found in Ozonated oil group ( group 3) .
Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, it was found that Maximum disinfection was found in Ozoanted Oil group .
