ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro the antimicrobial effect and diffusion against E. faecalis of new intracanal medications on the external root surface. The medications tested were a placebo gel (PC); the new formulations with either 3% nitrofurantoin (NIT) or 3% doxycycline hydrochloride (DX) and 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) gel as positive control. The new formulations were tested using the traditional agar diffusion test (ADT) and an adapted agar diffusion method (AADM), where the teeth were filled with the medications and left to diffuse on agar surface seeded with E. faecalis. In the ADT, the larger zones of microbial growth inhibition were seen in DX, followed by CHX and NIT. In the AADM test only DX and CHX showed antimicrobial effect. Statistically significant differences between groups were observed by the Kruskal-Wallis test (2=47.126; p<0.001). The new intracanal formulations with DX and NIT have demonstrated antimicrobial effect against E. faecalis, but only DX was able to diffuse through the dentinal tubules and exert antimicrobial effect outside the roots.
RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar, in vitro, o efeito antibacteriano e a difusão frente ao E. faecalis, de novas medicações intracanal na superfície externa da raiz. As medicações testadas foram um gel placebo (PC), as novas formulações quer com nitrofurantoína a 3% (NIT) ou hidrocloridrato de doxiciclina a 3%(DX) e um gel de clorexidina a 2% (CHX) como controle positive. As novas formulações foram testadas usando o tradicional teste de difusão em agar (ADT) e um método de difusão adaptado (AADM), onde os dentes foram preenchidos com as medicações e deixados a difundir numa superfície de agar semeada com E. faecalis. No ADT, a maior área de inibição foi registada para DX, seguida por CHX e NIT. No teste AADM, apenas DX e CHX demonstraram ação antimicrobiana. Foram observadas diferenças significativas entre os grupos através do teste Kruskal-Wallis (X2=47.126; p<0.001). As novas formulações intracanais contendo DX e NIT demonstraram ação antimicrobiana quando em contacto com E. faecalis, mas apenas DX teve capacidade de difundir através dos túbulos dentinários e exercer ação antimicrobiana fora das raízes.
