“…Afshan et al concluded that neem extract shows better inhibition than M. citrifolia against E. faecalis . 31 Lakshmi et al concluded that both aqueous and ethanolic neem extract shows better antimicrobial property that inhibits E. faecalis in root canal failure and is a better alternative for NaOCl. 10 A study by Prashanth et al concluded that the maximum antibacterial activity of neem extract at 50% against Streptococcus mutans .…”

A bstract Aim The purpose of the study is to compare and evaluate the efficacy of different root canal irrigants—100, 75, 50, and 25% neem extract, 100, 75, 50, and 25% apple cider vinegar (ACV), a combination of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and saline on smear layer removal using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Materials and methods A total of 80 freshly extracted single-rooted teeth were collected and divided into 10 groups—group I: normal saline (negative control), group II: NaOCl with EDTA (positive control), group III: 100% neem extract, group IV: 75% neem extract, group V: 50% neem extract, group VI: 25% neem extract, group VII: 100% ACV, group VIII: 75% ACV, group IX: 50% ACV, and group X: 25% ACV. The samples were irrigated with a specific group of irrigants, then split in a longitudinal axis and processed for analysis in an SEM. Microphotographs were obtained and scored according to Torabinejad et al. Results Microphotographs were assessed and showed that 100% neem extract was similar to NaOCl with EDTA, followed by 75% neem extract and 100% ACV. Conclusion This study showed that 100% neem extract removed the smear layer, similar to the NaOCl with EDTA. How to cite this article Sudhakar S, Gupta N, Ghambir N, et al.

“…It can be used as an effective substitute for sodium hypochlorite due to its high biocompatibility [15]. However, the major disadvantage of neem is its pungent taste, which reduces the patient's acceptance and can be neutralized by adding sweeteners [16]. Although neem has an efficient antimicrobial effect on many microbes, different studies have mentioned that neem has limited action against the main microbes in root canal infections like E. faecalis and candida albicans [17,18].…”

The present study investigate whether diode laser activation of two nanoparticle herbal irrigants affect Enterococcus faecalis (E.faecalis) biofilm and Candida albicans (C. albicans) compared with photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilizing methelyene blue as photosensitizer (PS). Material and methods: sixty single rooted teeth had undergo mechanical preparation. Teeth were divided into 3 groups (20 teeth each), G1 : 20 teeth inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis half (n= 10) irrigated with nanocurcumin and the other half irrigated with nanoneem both activated by diode laser, G2: 20 teeth inoculated with Candida albicans irrigated similar to group 1 and G3: 10 teeth inoculated with E.faecalis and 10 with Candida albicans undergo PDT using methylene blue as PS. Results: For E.faecalis no statistically significant difference neither between nanoneem and nanocurcumin (p>0.05) nor between nanocurcumin and PDT (p>0.05). While there was a statistically significant difference between nanoneem and PDT (p<0.001). While for C. albicans no statistically significant difference between nanocurcumin and PDT (p>0.05). While the differences were statistically highly significant between nanoneem and PDT (p=0.002) and between nanoneem and nanocurcumin (p<0.001). Conclusion: nanoneem and nanocurcumin irrigants activated by laser have an effect on root canal microorganisms and could be used as adjunctive endodontic irrigant.
