Abstract
The aim was to evaluate the efficacy of Thai propolis extract compared to calcium hydroxide against Enterococcus faecalis after root canal medication. One hundred and seventy two mandibular premolars were infected with E. faecalis. Six roots were filled with normal saline, and four roots were prepared for scanning electron microscopy to check for bacterial penetration. The remaining 162 roots were categorized into six groups and filled with one of three medicaments: Thai propolis extract, Thai propolis extract mixed with calcium hydroxide, and calcium hydroxide, for 2 or 7 days. Root dentine powder was assessed for viable bacteria in colony forming units. Thai propolis extract significantly eliminated more E. faecalis at day 2, but less than Thai propolis extract mixed with calcium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide at day 7 (p<0.001). At days 2 and 7, Thai propolis extract mixed with calcium hydroxide had similar efficacy to calcium hydroxide.
