Abstract
Complete eradication of microorganisms from the root canal and three-dimensional obturation of the canal space are necessary for a successful root canal therapy. In root canal failures, Enterococcus faecalis is the most often detected bacterium. Microorganisms can be eliminated with the aid of chemical irrigation. The current research was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of triphala, neem, and chlorhexidine root canal irrigants. Mueller-Hinton agar plates were inoculated with the E. faecalis (ATCC) bacterial culture after it had been cultured overnight in brain heart infusion (BHI) broth. Agar well diffusion was used to measure antibacterial inhibition. After being introduced to their appropriate wells in agar plates, the three research irrigants were incubated for 24 hours at 37°C. Every well's bacterial inhibition zone was noted. After tabulating the results, statistical analysis was done. When triphala and A. indica extract (neem) were added to chlorhexidine, the highest inhibitory zone against E. faecalis was observed. The herbal remedy triphala and the extract from A. indica exhibited an inhibitory zone when tested against E. faecalis. As a result, these irrigants might be utilized as a substitute for root canal irrigants.
