Culture determination of the acquisition of antibacterial properties by the treated specimens immediately and 1 week after the treatment was evaluated using the test organism Streptococcus faecalis. It was concluded that chlorhexidine is a potent antibacterial agent under the test conditions and that its use as an endodontic irrigating solution should be further evaluated.Entities:
