Eficacia antibacteriana del hidróxido de calcio como medicación intraconducto frente a la Pseudomona aeruginosa estudio in-vitro en la Universidad Católica de Cuenca – 2022.

Abstract

Choosing the ideal antimicrobial to combat root infections caused by P. aeruginosa requires knowledge of its mechanism of action. The history of endodontic dentistry describes the use of many drugs, among them all, calcium hydroxide has been found to be ideal for promoting healing and regeneration. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medication against P. aeruginosa. An experimental study was carried out, and the sample was constituted by a P. aeruginosa strain performed through the in-vitro diffusion test by the Kirby Bauer technique. The medications and the control discs were measured after 24 hours of incubation. This study demonstrated the antibacterial effect of calcium hydroxide with saline solution on P. aeruginosa, giving an inhibitory halo of 9 mm. While the UltracalÒ a halo of 9 to 11mm. A significant difference was observed when comparing the two presentations, indicating that the paste formed by calcium hydroxide with a saline solution against P. aeruginosa decreased the antimicrobial susceptibility.
