Antimicrobial efficacy of chlorine agents against selected oral pathogens.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Method-dependent comparison of antimicrobial agents' efficacy against oral pathogens.

Materials and methods

Several sodium hypochlorite solutions (NaOCl)-Perisolv^®, Carisolv^® and Dakin's solution-were equated with chlorhexidine (CHX) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) against ten oral micro-organisms related to caries and periodontitis using different minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) techniques. Agents were adjusted to the final 70 mmol/L concentration of active chlorine molecule.

Results

Apart from H₂O₂ and the amino acids of Perisolv^®, all the agents revealed an antimicrobial effect. Agar diffusion test ranked CHX (p < 0.05) as the
