INTRODUCTION: The technically demanding endodontic treatment sometimes faces failures because of various polymicrobial infections. Common organisms isolated from such infections are Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans. Several researches were made with various materials to eradicate such organisms. The study material used here is Lyophilized platelet rich plasma (L-PRP), which has been recently used in dentistry and other medical fields to promote hard and soft tissue regeneration.AIM: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of lyophilized platelet lysate (LPL) against microorganisms like Enterococcus Faecalis, Bacillus Subtilis and Candida Albicans.MATERIALS AND METHOD: Discarded blood samples were obtained from blood banks after centrifugation, sterility check and activation. After this, lyophilization of the platelets was carried out. The antimicrobial activity of this freeze dried powder was evaluated by the minimum inhibitory concentration method and then by the Agar disk diffusion method.RESULTS: Lyophilized platelet lysate (LPL) inhibited the growth of Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans which is commonly associated with failed root canal treatment.CONCLUSION: LPL has the potential to be effective against the organisms which causes failure of root canal treatment. This can be of a valuable property in tissue engineering.

Root Canal Sealers

Aim and Design: Sealers with prolonged antimicrobial activity are needed by the fact that microorganisms are commonly recovered from teeth with failed endodontic therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the duration of antimicrobial activity of ten root canal sealers (Apexit plus, Tubli Seal Xpress, Endoflas FS,Endomethasone, Endomethasone N, AH Plus, Epiphany, EndoRez, Ketac Endo, Roeko Seal) against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans by the agar diffusion test. The zones of inhibition were examined immediately and after 24, 48, 72 hours, 5 and 7 days. Statistical analysis was done using Kruskal - Wallis test and Mann Whitney U test. Results and conclusions: Against Enterococcus faecalis, Endoflas FS showed the largest inhibitory zones immediately and 24 hours after manipulation, whereas, there was no significant difference between Endoflas FS and Endomethasone after 48 hours. Against Candida albicans, Endoflas FS performed better than the other sealers. All the sealers (except AH Plus, Epiphany and Roeko Seal) demonstrated higher antimicrobial action in the first 24 hours after manipulation The antimicrobial action of all the sealers (except AH Plus and Roeko Seal which showed no antimicrobial activity in any studied time and Epiphany which ceased to show any antimicrobial action after 24 hours) decreased significantly with time.

Root Canal Irrigants

Background:There are various microorganisms related to intra and extra-radicular infections and many of these are involved in persistent infections. Bacterial elimination from the root canal is achieved by means of the mechanical action of instruments and irrigation as well as the antibacterial effects of the irrigating solutions.Enterococcus faecaliscan frequently be isolated from root canals in cases of failed root canal treatments. Antimicrobial agents have often been developed and optimized for their activity against endodontic bacteria. An ideal root canal irrigant should be biocompatible, because of its close contact with the periodontal tissues during endodontic treatment. Sodium hypoclorite (NaOCl) is one of the most widely recommended and used endodontic irrigants but it is highly toxic to periapical tissues.Objectives:To analyze the literature on the chemotherapeutic agent and plant extracts studied as root canal irrigants. In particularly, the study is focused on their effect onEnterococcus faecalis.Method:Literature search was performed electronically in PubMed (PubMed Central, MEDLINE) for articles published in English from 1982 to April 2015. The searched keywords were “endodontic irrigants” and “Enterococcus faecalis” and “essential oil” and “plant extracts”.Results:Many of the studied chemotherapeutic agents and plant extracts have shown promising resultsin vitro.Conclusion:Some of the considered phytotherapic substances, could be a potential alternative to NaOCl for the biomechanical treatment of the endodontic space.
