Abstract
Sterilization of bacteria in root canal system is one of the prominent problems. Some bacteria could remain in root canal even after using conventional medicaments. Evidences suggested that Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) caused substantial root canal infections. So, elimination of such organism is important to achieve treatment success. Research hypothesis: Sterilization of root canal with Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair (LSTR)-3mix MP Therapy is thought to be more effective against E. faecalis comparing to single antibiotic. Methods: In-vitro cross-sectional with interventional type of study to observe the zone of inhibitions by E. faecalis culture using LSTR- 3mix (metronidazole, ciprofloxacin and minocycline) and calcium hydroxide (control). Results: The results strongly recommended that LSTR-3mix sufficiently able to inhibit E. faecalis growth. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cdcj.v9i2.12311 City Dental College J.
