An evaluation of antimicrobial efficiency of Endo-Fill root canal sealant and filling material.
The antimicrobial efficiency of Endo-Fill root canal sealant and filling material was microbiologically evaluated. The zones of inhibition around the Endo-Fill by agar diffusion method were measured. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Candiada albicans, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were used as the selected microorganisms. No zone of inhibition was seen around the Endo-Fill in any of the examples.
