Abstract
Aims and objectives:Successful root canal treatment involves the complete elimination of pathogenic microorganisms from the root canal system. Enterococcus faecalis is one of them which is most commonly detected in asymptomatic persistent endodontic infections. Chemical irrigation of the root canals along with biomechanical preparation helps in the elimination of such microorganisms. Thus, the present study was done to evaluate and compare the antibacterial efficacy of Doxycycline,Camellia Sinensis, Aloe barbadensis Miller, Azadirachta indica and saline with Sodium hypochlorite as an intracanal irrigant against E.faecalis.

0.71) followed by Azadirachta indica(16.00 ± 0.63), Camellia Sinensis(14.00± 0.71), Sodium hypochlorite (10.17 ± 0.98), and least zone with Aloe barbadensis Miller(8.17 ± 0.75) and no zone of inhibition was observed with normal saline
Persistence of microorganisms in apical third of the root canals leads to failure of endodontic treatment
Summary
Five different intracanal irrigants were selected for this study The long term success of endodontic treatment completely depends upon the debridement of noncommensal microorganisms from the root canal system.[1] due to complex root canal configuration, complete debridement through mechanical instrumentation alone cannot remove the entire bacterial load.Since it is a difficult task to completely eradicate microorganisms from the infected were prepared, and MIC was determined.A total of 6 wells per root canal system, intracanal irrigant seems necessary plate were made on the agar plate with the help of cork borer. Once wells on plates are made, the testing irrigatingsolutions was pipetted into each well,and the zone of inhibition was determined after 72hrs by Agar well diffusion method. In addition to mechanical debridement.low oxygen tension, less nutrient availability and enormous bacterial interactions lead to predominant colonization Due to complex root canal configuration, complete debridement through mechanical instrumentation alone cannot remove the entire bacterial load.Since it is a difficult task to completely eradicate microorganisms from the infected were prepared, and MIC was determined.A total of 6 wells per root canal system, intracanal irrigant seems necessary plate were made on the agar plate with the help of cork borer. for eradication of infected tissues and microorganisms
