Resumen

Introducción

El tratamiento endodóncico tiene como uno de sus principales objetivos la eliminación de la microflora del sistema de conductos radiculares. Esto se logra mediante la limpieza, desinfección y conformación de dicho sistema mediante la instrumentación, irrigación y utilización de medicación intraconducto.

Objetivo

Comparar la capacidad para inhibir el crecimiento de Fusobacterium nucleatum con la utilización de tres medicamentos intraconducto: clorhexidina (CHX), hidróxido de calcio (Ca(OH)2) y yoduro de potasio yodado (IKI) utilizados individualmente y en diferentes combinaciones.

Metodología

F. nucleatum subespecie nucleatum fue sembrado en placas de agar. Discos de papel filtro fueron embebidos en cada medicamento y colocados sobre la superficie del agar. Las placas fueron incubadas en una cámara de anaerobiosis durante 7 días. Se efectuó el registro en milímetros de los radios de las zonas de inhibición del crecimiento.

Resultados

La capacidad antimicrobiana fue mayor para CHX, seguida por IKI y Ca(OH)2. La CHX al 2% inhibió significativamente mejor el crecimiento bacteriano que el IKI al 4% + 2% (p < 0.05). La CHX al 2% mostró una capacidad antimicrobiana significativamente mayor que cualquiera de las concentraciones de Ca(OH)2. Ninguna de las combinaciones de medicamentos intraconducto, mostraron capacidad antimicrobiana superior a la de CHX al 4% y 2% individualmente.

Conclusiones

La CHX al 4%, 2% y 1% de manera individual, presentó una actividad antimicrobiana elevada, seguida por el IKI con una actividad moderada y el Ca(OH)2 que presentó una escasa capacidad para inhibir el crecimiento de F. nucleatum. La combinación de medicamentos intraconducto no potenció los efectos antimicrobianos de los medicamentos evaluados.

Abstract

Introduction

One of the primary objectives of root canal therapy is the removal of microbial species within the canal system. Such goal is accomplished by cleansing, disinfecting and shaping of the canals through mechanical instrumentation, irrigation and the use of intracanal medicaments.

Purpose

To compare the effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of Fusobacterium nucleatum of 3 intracanal medicaments: chlorhexidine (CHX), calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and iodine potassium iodide (IKI) used individually and in various combinations.

Methods

F. nucleatum subspecies nucleatum was grown on agar plates. Paper filter disks were immersed in each medicament and placed on the agar surface. Plates were incubated in an anaerobic chamber for 7 days. The radius of growth-inhibition zones was recorded in millimeters.

Results

Antimicrobial effect was greater for CHX, followed by IKI and Ca(OH)2. 2% CHX inhibited significantly better the bacterial growth than 4% + 2% IKI (p < 0.05). Two percent CHX also exhibited a significantly greater antimicrobial effect than either of the concentrations of Ca(OH)2 tested. None of the combinations of medicaments exhibited a greater antimicrobial effect than 4% and 2% CHX tested individually.

Conclusions

4%, 2% and 1% CHX individually, exhibited the greatest antimicrobial effect followed by IKI with a moderate effect and Ca(OH)2 which exhibited only a discrete antimicrobial activity against F. nucleatum. The combination of intracanal medicaments did not increase the antimicrobial effects of the medicaments evaluated individually.
