Antimicrobial effectiveness of intracanal medicaments on <i><scp>E</scp>nterococcus faecalis</i>: chlorhexidine versus octenidine

Abstract

In contrast to calcium hydroxide, both CHX - and octenidine-based intracanal medicaments were effective in decreasing the viability of E. faecalis. OCT showed the most favourable results and may have potential as an endodontic medicament.
