<i>In vitro</i> antibacterial action of Tetraclean, MTAD and five experimental irrigation solutions

Abstract

Tetraclean was more effective than MTAD against E. faecalis in planktonic culture and in mixed-species in vitro biofilm. CTR improved the antimicrobial properties of the solutions, whereas Tween 80 seemed to have a neutral or negative impact on their antimicrobial effectiveness.
