Aim: To evaluate and compare the antibacterial efficacy of Cention-N in two different curing methods. Methods: Twenty blocks of Cention-N were prepared according to standard manufacturers instructions and were divided into two groups-self cured and light cured (ten blocks in each group). Streptococcus mutans were extracted from dental caries by a series of biochemical treatments and strains of S.mutans were treated with both groups of Cention-N blocks. Results: Self cured Cention-N blocks exhibited statistically significant reduction in bacterial colonies compared to Light-cured blocks. Conclusion: Additional light curing inhibits the antibacterial efficacy of Cention-N cement.
