The efficacy of Ledermix paste in disinfection of dentinal tubules was studied in a model developed by Haapasalo and Ørstavik with some modifications. Ledermix and 3% Tetra‐cycline in a hydrous base were effective in reducing the amount of Staphylococcus aureus in dentinal tubules after 7 days of incubation and also after recontamination. They were not effective after 24 h.
