To evaluate antimicrobial efficacy of calcium hydroxide against enterococcus faecalis either with or without natural medicaments
Keywords:
Calcium hydroxide, Turmeric extract, Tulsi extract, E. faecalis, Zone of inhibitionAbstract
Aim: Antimicrobial effectiveness of calcium hydroxide against E. faecalis is the primary goal of this research, which aims to compare the effects of calcium hydroxide with and without the addition of turmeric and ocimum tenuiflorum extract. Ingredients and Procedure: Using calcium hydroxide and herbal extracts, the samples were divided into six groups. Normal saline, turmeric extract, and tulsi extract are in groups A1, B1, and C1 respectively. Calcium hydroxide and saline are in Group A; calcium hydroxide and turmeric extract are in Group B; and basil extract is in Group C. Enterococcus faecalis may be grown in brain heart infusion broth (BHI). Three equal-sized sets of media are placed in each of three wells with a diameter of 4 mm on each media plate. A sliding calliper is used to identify inhibitory zones after 1-2 days of incubation at 37°Celsius. Results: This study's statistical findings were generated entirely with SPSS version 18. P values of less than 0.04 were deemed significant. ANOVA and post hoc Games Howell tests were used to compare the mean inhibition zone.
