Introduction: Inability to extract intracanal biofilm and the existence of different microbial species can be linked to the most common cause of failure of most root canal therapies. In order to achieve maximum microbe removal, the quest for an ideal root canal irrigant and medication is still on. The objective of this study was to test the antimicrobial efficacy of the Foeniculum vulgare seeds (Fennel seeds) essential oil against E. C and faecalis. Albicans, and compare it to Calcium hydroxide, the new gold standard.
Materials and Methods: Undiluted and 100% pure essential oil derived from steam
distillation of seeds of Foeniculum vulgare was used. Fungal and bacterial
strains of E. ATCC 29212 and C faecalis. ATCC 10231 albicans were grown and
test samples of fennel seed oil (20μl), fennel seed oil and calcium hydroxide
mixture, calcium hydroxide and 30% propylene glycol were tested against the
microbial strains. For the antibacterial and antifungal activity evaluation,
the zones of inhibition around the treated discs were assessed.
Performance: The results of the study showed statistically significant inhibition zone diameters (in mm) in contrast to the negative power. The combination of fennel seed oil and calcium hydroxide, followed by pure fennel seed oil for both E, shows the maximum inhibition diameter. C. Albicans. and E. faecalis.
Concluding: F. Thanks to its antimicrobial potency, vulgar essential oil can be tried and used for long-standing cases of infection.
