“…These results are in accordance with Parolia et al (2020) study, which found that chitosan was less effective than calcium hydroxide and propolis against E. faecalis after 1 week of dressing application.…”

“…The concentration of chitosan in Parolias' study was 0.2%, which was conducted on permanent teeth, E. faecalis were incubated for 21 days, and the bacterial suspension was used at (1.5 × 10 8 CFUs/ mL), yet the results of both studies were similar, which can lead to conclude that the effect of calcium hydroxide is higher in comparison to chitosan, even when the concentration of the last one was increased here (Abhishek Parolia et al, 2020).…”

“…Due to the presence of flavonoids in propolis, it has antimicrobial and anti‐inflammatory properties. Consequently, it has been used for oral and throat infection therapy, before being applied for dental caries management (Agrawal et al, 2017 ; Parolia et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Many studies have found that propolis is effective when used as an intracanal irrigant and a direct pulp capping agent (Jolly et al, 2013 ; Parolia et al, 2010 ). Furthermore, it was suggested as an intracanal medicament (Parolia et al, 2020 ).…”

Objectives Successful endodontic therapy is based on the reduction of infecting bacteria by cleaning, shaping, and disinfecting of the root canal system, thus the use of intracanal dressing is necessary for optimal success of root canal treatment. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of chitosan and propolis as intracanal medicaments against Enterococcus faecalis compared to calcium hydroxide in primary root canals. Material and Methods Ninety‐six extracted primary second molars were collected. Teeth preparation was completed to size 30 K‐file. They were randomly divided into four groups; (A): chitosan, (B): propolis, (C): calcium hydroxide, and (D): control group (saline). The tooth specimens were inoculated with E. faecalis . Then, tested materials were applied for all groups in accordance to the groups each tooth belonged to. Following this, the bacterial colonies were counted after 24 h, 72 h, and 1 week of applying dressing materials and incubation. Finally, one–way analysis of variance and Fisher's least significant difference tests were used for statistical comparisons between the groups at a significance level of .05. Results No statistically significant difference was found between groups A, B, and C for both 24 h and a week ( p ≥ .05). Yet, a statistical difference between groups A, B, C, and D after 72 h and 1 week were seen ( p ≤ .05). Conclusions Chitosan and propolis medicaments were as effective as calcium hydroxide against E. faecalis in primary root canal treatment and might be considered as an alternative dressing material between treatment sessions.
