Abstract:
Incomplete removal of micro-organisms from infected root canals is a common cause of failed endodontic treatment. The difficulty in eradication of Enterococcus faecalis is from root canals plays an essential role in pathogenesis of persistent pulp al and Perl radicular infections. The aim of the present study was to compare the reduction of Enterococcus faecalis in root canals by mechanical instrumentation using two rotary systems (One Shape and Pro Taper Next) and Hand K-file instrumentation by using microbiological and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) evaluation. Fifty one freshly extracted mandibular premolars with a single root were collected. After pre-instrumentation sampling, they were divided into three groups, Group A, Group B and Group C in which biomechanical preparation was done using Hand K-File, One Shape and protaper Next respectively. Reduction in pre-instrumentation and post-instrumentation values of Enterococcus faecalis were analyzed using microbiological and SEM evaluation. Statistical analysis by paired âtâ test and p value showed that there was highly statistical significant difference in CFU count reduction between the pre-Instrumentation and post-instrumentation values in all the groups.
