Efficacy of Different Obturating Materials - A Comparative Study
Zinc oxide in combination with propolis resorbed at the same pace as that of the roots. MIC and MBC of laboratory-extracted propolis against E. faecalis were 289 and 579 μg/mL, respectively. Efficacies of different obturating materials were observed as ZnOP > ZnO{Ca(OH)2}P > Ca(OH)2P > Vitapex. A novel herbal obturating material with ideal properties for primary teeth has been developed.
