Comparative evaluation of antibacterial efficacy of nitrofurantoin, chitosan, and calcium hydroxide in combination with propylene glycol as an intracanal medicament against endodontic pathogen – An in vitro study
In the root-canal biofilm model, the combination of chitosan and PG demonstrated a significant reduction in the viability of endodontic pathogens when employed as intracanal medication for 7 days. This suggests its potential as an effective intracanal medicament for endodontic retreatment.
