| Dr. Parul Verma, Dr. Shivangi Gupta | |
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of 3 endodontic sealers (AH Plus, sealpex, and ZOE) against E. fecalis. Methodology: The antimicrobial activities of selected endodontic sealers were assessed by direct contact test (DCT) on a total of 300 study samples equally distributed in three groups using spectrophotometer readings. Collected data were analyzed using Two-way analysis of variance and Newman–Keuls post hoc tests. Result: ZOE was demonstrated to exhibit greater and long-term efficacy while AH Plus showed the best antimicrobial effect. Conclusion: Of the studied sealants, AH Plus is best followed by ZOE while Sealapex showed minimal inhibitory activity. |
