Abstract
Evaluation of Synergetic Antibacterial Effect of Gaseous Ozone and Ozonated Water against Enterococcus Faecalis in Human Root Canals
Highlights
An approving outcome of the endodontic treatment of teeth with apical periodontitis depends on effective control of the root canal infection [1,2]
Under limitations of this study, it could be concluded that the gaseous ozone, as an irrigant agent, significantly reduced the number of E. faecalis in root canals but was not able to eliminate it
Ozonated water was insufficient to increase the antibacterial effectiveness of gaseous ozone
Summary
An approving outcome of the endodontic treatment of teeth with apical periodontitis depends on effective control of the root canal infection [1,2]. Effective disinfecting processes and antimicrobial irrigants to remove E. faecalis are necessary for successful treatment of the infected root canals, especially. Elimination of the microorganisms in root canals is one of the most important stages for a successful endodontic treatment. Several techniques and agents have been tested to find an alternative option to sodium hypochloride for effective root canal disinfection. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of gaseous ozone and ozonated water in order to establish their potential as endodontic root canal disinfectant
