Abstract
Absorbent points were contaminated with Streptococcus faecalis and exposed for varying time intervals to concentrations of sodium hypochlorite and to 5.25% sodium hypochlorite mixed with organic matter. After exposure to one of the test solutions, the absorbent points were placed in a culture medium and incubated; the presence of growth was recorded. Results showed that dilution of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite inhibits its antibacterial property significantly. The presence of organic matter reduced the antibacterial property of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite from no inhibition to significant inhibition.
