Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of asphaline temp, triple antibiotic paste (TAP), and Ultracal Xs against Enterococcus faecalis – An in vitro study.
Materials and method: A hundred and twenty freshly extracted, single-rooted human permanent teeth were instrumented and autoclaved. Samples were inoculated with the pure culture of E. faecalis and incubated. After incubation, colony-forming units (CFUs) were recorded before medication. Each group was further divided into three subgroups containing ten samples each for days – 1 day, 5 days, and 7 days. Group A – Asphaline Temp; Group B – TAP; Group C – Calcium hydroxide; and Group D – Normal saline (Control). The various time interval bacterial (CFU) within the group were compared by the Analysis of Variance followed by Tukey's Post hoc test.
Results: The greater antimicrobial effects were observed in the samples treated with Asphaline temp (P < 0.005). No statistical antimicrobial difference was found between Asphaline temp and TAP.
Conclusion: Asphaline temp demonstrated significant antimicrobial effectiveness against E. faecalis.
