Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the efficacy of the newly available endox endodontic system on isolated
Enterococcus faecalis from single rooted canals.
Methods
Two hundred and fifty extracted single rooted teeth were selected for this study. The
root canals were prepared and shaped with sterile reamers (#15-35) and endox needle
was introduced into the canal and microbiological samples were collected from each
tooth using sterile paper points before and after the treatment for the isolation and
identification of Enterococcus faecalis.
Results
Eighteen (7.2%) isolated strains of Enterococcus faecalis from 250 single rooted
canals were treated with endox. In 10 (55.6%) cases, Enterococcus faecalis was
eradicated, while in 8 (44.4%) cases it was resistant to endox.
Conclusion
Endox method was reasonably effective in the elimination of Enterococcus faecalis
from infected single rooted canals. (Rawal Med J 2010;35: ).

Key words: Endox, Enterococcus faecalis, infected pulp, endodontic.
