Figure 2.

Antibacterial activity of the different pulp canal sealers evaluated by agar diffusion test. 5 mm in diameter and 2 mm deep disks composed of each pulp canal sealers were placed on agar plates previously incubated with incubated with Enterococcus faecalis and incubate at 37°C for 24h. All the assays were conducted in triplicate and the results were recorded in terms of the average diameter of inhibition zone (mm). Error bars indicate standard errors of the means. Statistically significant differences are indicated (Student’s t test; * P<0.05; **P<0.01).
