Abstract
Introduction: Enterococcus faecalis has a pathogenic role in failed endodontic treatments. The study aimed to assess the efficiency of Spilanthesacmella (SA) and cinnamon oil (CO) extract on E. faecalis biofilm eradication.
Materials and methods: The antibacterial efficacy of SA and CO against E. faecalis was assessed by the tests of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and further, the interaction with agents was evaluated at different time intervals by a time-kill assay. The inhibition efficacy of both agents was determined by biofilm adhesion reduction crystal violet assay.
Results: The MIC of SA was 25 μg/mL, and for CO, it was 12.5 μg/mL. The time-kill assay revealed that antibacterial efficacy was identified till 36 hours by both the test materials. The mean biofilm reduction at 25 µg/mL of calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2], SA, and CO was 1.53 ± 0.05, 1.83 ± 1.57, and 2.06 ± 0.05, respectively.
Conclusion: SA and CO demonstrated promising antibacterial efficacy against E. faecalis and CO presented significant eradication of biofilms compared to SA.
