Background
Antibacterial activity is one of the important characteristics of an ideal root canal sealer. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of fi ve different sealers against Enterococcus faecalis using two different methods.Materials And Methods
The mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) Fillapex, Tg sealer, Endomethasone, AH-26, and RoekoSeal sealers were placed into the brain heart infusion (BHI) culture medium containing E. faecalis (PTCC1393). The diameter of the bacterial zone of inhibition was measured. In the direct contact test, a suspension containing grinded set sealers and E. faecalis bacteria was cultured in BHI after 6, 15, and 60 min. The number of colonies in milliliter was calculated. Data were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Tukeys multiple comparisons test (P Results
In the agar diffusion test, Endomethasone had the highest antibacterial activity against E. faecalis compared to other sealers (P Conclusion
The technique and components of the tested sealers affect the antibacterial activity results. This study showed that all of sealers had antimicrobial effect.Keywords:
