| description | GP cones (Gutta Percha Cones) are materials used in the third phase of endodontic treatment by
dentists worldwide. They are usually sterilized by chemical decontaminants including 70% ethanol, sodium
hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide and chlorohexidine which have adverse side effects. The aim of this study
was to evaluate the efficiency of natural elements like Neem, Aloe Vera and Neem+ Aloe Vera to disinfect
GP cones. Antimicrobial activity of these natural extracts was checked against Escherichia coli and
Staphylococcus aureus (common contaminants of GP cones) using agar well diffusion. In order to measure
decontamination competency, GP cones were first immersed in test organisms for ten minutes, followed by
submersion in extracts for 1 minute and turbidity was checked in nutrient broth after 24 hours at 37o
C. In
terms of antimicrobial efficacy, Neem showed highest zone of inhibition followed by Neem+ Aloe Vera and
Aloe vera respectively for E. coli. In S. aureus, Neem and Aloe Vera showed highest zone followed by Neem
+ Aloe Vera. Decontamination efficacy of Aloe Vera was highest against E. coli contaminated GP cones
followed by Neem and Neem + Aloe Vera. Similarly, Aloe Vera was much effective against S. aureus
contaminated GP cones followed by Neem and Neem + Aloe Vera. |
