| Abstract | The aim of this study was to evaluate the effective duration of antimicrobial activity of a calcium hydroxide-based medicament (Apex Cal) and 2% chlorhexidene gluconate gel against selected endodontic pathogens (Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Prevotella intermedia). The agar diffusion test was used to determine the antimicrobial activity. Chlorhexidene gluconate gel showed the largest inhibitory zones. The antimicrobial action of both medicaments decreased significantly with time, with calcium hydroxide showing no antimicrobial action after 72 hours. In conclusion, 2% chlorhexidene gel showed better antimicrobial activity than calcium hydroxide, and the effective antimicrobial action of both medicaments decreased after 48 hours. © 2007 Mosby, Inc.
