Tóm tắt

AIM: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the antibacterial efficacy of nitrofurantoin (Nit) and calcium hydroxide (CH) coated with silver nanoparticle (AgNP) against MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy-eight extracted noncarious human single-rooted teeth were decoronated and chemomechanical preparation was done. The decoronated roots were inoculated with RESULTS: Flow cytometry analysis revealed that antibacterial activity of intracanal medicament was highest for Nit + AgNp. The least activity was observed for AgNP. CONCLUSION: Both Nit and Nit with 0.02% AgNP can be used as potential intracanal medicaments against
