Abstract
The goal of
endodontic treatment is the debridement and removal of the microbial
ecosystem associated with the disease process. The need for root
canal disinfectants increases especially in those cases where
infection is resistant to the regular treatment and the outcome of
endodontic therapy is often compromised. Therefore, it is of
interest to document the known effectiveness of silver nanoparticle
based root canal disinfectants with other root canal disinfectants
on microbial load reduction during root canal disinfection. Known
data shows that the overall risk of bias for the selected studies
was moderate. Silver nanoparticle based root canal disinfectants
showed superior reduction of microbial counts in majority of the
studies. This data is limited to vitro studies with no
clinical information to validate the use of antimicrobial properties
of silver nanoparticles used as root canal disinfectant.
