Antibacterial effect of Procaine 2% with caffeine and of propolis 40% on strains of Enterococcus faecalis: in vitro study
Keywords:
Phytotherapeutic agents, bacterial reduction, irrigant in endodonticAbstract
The use of phytotherapeutic agents in health areas has become increasingly important thanks to its antibacterial capabilities and considerable biocompatibility. Objective: to evaluate the antibacterial effect of procaine 2 % with caffeine and propolis 40 %, against Enterococcus faecalis strains, as an enhancer for irrigation in root canal treatment. Materials and methods: the sample consisted of 28 Petri dishes with a culture medium of lamb blood agar. Strains of Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 were cultured in each dish. White Sensi discs soaked in the mentioned substances were added: G1 – Sodium Hypochlorite with a 5 % concentration positive control; G2 - G2: propolis 40%, G3: Procaine 2 % concentration and caffeine. G2: Propóleo 40%, G3: Procaine 2% with caffeine 0,25% (Impletol) and G4: Saline Solution control negativo. The samples were cultured in an anaerobic environment and were incubated at 35°C, the diameter of the bacterial inhibition area was measured after 48 hours. The data recollected were statistically analyzed with the Turkey Test with a significance level of 5%. Results: the value of the average of inhibition halos for each group was: (G1)21,54;(G2)10,18mm and 0,0mm for G3 and G4. There were statistically significant differences between the substances used with the sodium hypochlorite (p<0,05). Conclusions: the ptopolis is a adjuvant substance in the root canal treatment irrigation while the procaine with caffeine didvnot show any antibacterial effect on E. faecalis.
