Antibacterial Effect of All-in-one Self Etch Adhesive Systems on Enterococcus faecalis in days 1,7,14

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of one-step self-etch adhesives on enterococcus faecalis on days 1, 7 and 14 with the use of modified direct contact test. Materials and methods:The modified direct contact test was used to evaluate the antibacterial effect of Adper Easy one, BondForce, Clearfil S3 Bond , Futurabond M, G-bond , iBond, OptiBond All-in-one on enterococcus faecalis after aging the samples in phosphate buffer saline for one , seven and fourteen days . Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. In this study, p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: All tested adhesives exhibited antibacterial activity after one day and had significant differences with control positive group (p<0.05). After one week, OptiBond All-in-one, iBond and Futurabond M had significant difference in bacterial growth with other groups (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between groups in two week (p>0.05). Conclusion: iBond exhibited the highest antibacterial effect on E. faecalis after one week. Futurabond and OptiBond All-in-one exhibited antibacterial effects against E. faecalis for one week
