四种冲洗剂对根管内粪肠球菌清除效果的体外实验

目的比较常用的根管冲洗剂对根管内粪肠球菌感染的清除效果。方法建立粪肠球菌根管内感染模型，实验组用4种常用的化学冲洗剂、对照组用0．9％NaCl溶液冲洗根管。冲洗前、后计数根管内的细菌量，检测残余细菌并观察72h细菌复苏情况。结果化学冲洗剂的杀菌效果明显好于0．9％NaCl溶液（P〈0．05），2．5％次氯酸钠及2％氯己定明显好于3％H2O2（P〈0．05）。结论2％氯己定、2％氯胺-T的杀菌效果与2．5％次氯酸钠相似，3％H2O2杀菌效果较弱。

Comparison of antimicrobial efficacy of four endodontic irrigants using an in vitro model infected by Enterococcus faecalis

OBJECTIVE: To compare the antimicrobial efficacy of four endodontic irrigants using an in vitro model infected by Enterococcus faecalis (Ef). METHODS: The root canals of fifty extracted teeth were infected by Ef in vitro. The test groups were irrigated with 3% H(2)O(2), 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (SH), 2% chloramine-T (CR), and 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), respectively, and the control group was irrigated with 0.9% NaCl. The concentration of Ef in canals of each group was calculated before and after irrigation. The residual bacteria within the dentinal tubules and vitalities of the residual bacteria were also examined. RESULTS: All chemical irrigants were significantly more effective than 0.9% NaCl (P < 0.05); 2.5% SH and 2% CHX were statistically more effective than 3% H(2)O(2) (P < 0.05). Residual bacteria could be found in the dentinal tubules and propagated 72 h after. CONCLUSIONS: 2% CR and 2% CHX had almost the equivalent antimicrobial effect as 2.5% SH, but 3% H(2)O(2) was less effective.
