[An in vitro evaluation of the antimicrobial effect of auxiliary agents in the instrumentation of root canals].
An in vitro evaluation of the antimicrobial effect of some substances employed during the instrumentation phase in endodontics, was performed. Agents subjected to study were: AMOSAN, RC-PREP and LARGAL ULTRA. The last two possess chelating properties. Microorganisms used were: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus salivarius, Streptococcus salivarius, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus faecalis and Candida albicans. Evaluations were performed after 24 and 48 hours, and did not reveal any bacterial growth in any of the cultures.
