It has been found that the microorganism behind the failure of root-filled teeth is Enterococcus faecalis , which shows resistance to most of the intra-canal medicaments. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of three intra-canal medications-calcium hydroxide with saline, combinations of calcium hydroxide with 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), and calcium hydroxide with 5% povidone-iodine-against E. faecalis in dentinal tubules of human incisors.
