Effect of calcium hydroxide in combination with betamethasone and ciprofloxacin on planktonic form of Enterococcus focalus

According to the prevalence of Enterococcus faecalis plankton and its identified complications and the reports validating the influence of betamethasone on inflammation and reporting a case, (1) the positive effect of calcium hydroxide in combination with betamethasone against the planktonic form of Enterococcus faecalis, this study was conducted to compare this drug with standard calcium hydroxide and ciprofloxacin. An in vitro study was performed on 90 single-channel extracted teeth. After root canal preparation, including removing the smear layer and maintaining it in TBS and E.faealis, the samples were randomly selected. The target groups are divided into the following groups. Group 1, calcium hydroxide oxide powder with betamethasone dye was combined with 0.1% solid paste, and group 2, calcium hydroxide powder with ciprofloxacin dye was mixed with 0.3% dough consistency. It should be mentioned that in the control group, calcium hydroxide powder with saline It was getting pasty. The microbial evaluation was performed on the first, seventh and tenth days. First, 10 samples were selected from each group at a given time interval. Then, with Gates No. 4 and 5, the canals were opened, and the debris was incubated in 0.1 ml TBS for 24 hours at 37 ? C. Then the contents of each tube were cultured on agar containing TBS for 48 hours. Subsequently, the number of bacterial colonies was performed using a colony counter. Finally, the data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. The findings of the study revealed that there was no significant difference between CFU in calcium hydroxide + saline and calcium hydroxide + betamethasone group (p =. / 143). There was a significant difference between calcium hydroxide + saline and calcium hydroxide + betamethasone group compared to calcium hydroxide + cyberfloxin group (p = 0.0031 and p = 0.0000). It seems that since the addition of betamethasone to calcium hydroxide does not reduce its antimicrobial properties, it can be used to reduce the postoperative inflammation of the patients and the discomfort caused by it. Moreover, cyberfloxin is an effective intracanal drug for local application (intracanal) due to a significant reduction in the loading of bacteria.
