Evaluation of Antimicrobial Efficacy and Adaptability of Bioceramic Sealer Containing Nanoparticles

Summary

Successful endodontic treatment depends primarily on the elimination of infecting microorganisms. This is done by chemo-mechanical preparation of root canals, which is not enough and microorganisms might still survive. Thus, from the main requirements of sealers is to have antibacterial properties and adaptability. Those requirements are needed to kill persisting bacteria after obturation and provide effective seal. Therefore, nanosilver and chitosan inserted to BC sealer and so the antibacterial activity will be assessed on E. faecalis using direct contact test after the setting of the sealer, and the results will be reported using percentage reduction of the colony forming units. Besides, adaptability will be assessed using scanning electron microscope.
