Abstract

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), ozonated oil, and normal saline. Materials and methods: A total of 75 deciduous teeth indicated for pulpectomy treatment were selected for the study. These were divided into three groups: group I (n = 25)—2.5% NaOCl, group II (n = 25)—normal saline, and group III (n = 25)—ozonated oil. After completion of access opening and extirpation of the pulp, the first sample was taken by placing a paper point into the canal. The second sample was taken after completion of canal preparation and irrigation of the canals with the respective solutions. The paper points were then sent to the department of microbiology for culture. Results: A statistically significant difference was seen in all three groups for pre- and postirrigation values. The greatest percentage difference was observed in group I (214.4 ± 70.27), followed by group III (76.92 ± 32.66) and group II (54.16 ± 26.8). Conclusion: Among all three irrigating solutions, 2.5% NaOCl had the maximum antimicrobial efficacy on the root canal microflora, followed by ozonated oil. Clinical significance: To understand the advantages of using NaOCl and ozonated oil as irrigant mediums in the root canals of primary teeth.
