Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the antifungal efficacy of three endodontic sealers (AH Plus, Sealapex, and MTA Fillapex) with and without the incorporation of Origanum vulgare oil against Candida albicans. Materials and Methods: In the present study C. albicans were cultured in Potato Dextrose Agar plates. Filter papers (n=10) were placed in the cultured Petri dishes and the sealers were mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions and placed on the top of the filter papers. Sealers were divided into following groups: Group I–AH Plus, Group II–Sealapex, and Group III–MTA Fillapex. Group IO, Group IIO, and Group IIIO were the addition of 25 µg/ml of Origanum vulgare oil with respective sealers. Plates were incubated for 18 h, and the zone of inhibition was measured with a measuring scale and values (in millimetre) were recorded. Statistical .. Read More»
