Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • the total numbers of Enterococcus Faecalis bacteria on bile esculin agar

    colony forming units (CFU/ml).

    one weak after application of intracanal medication

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Post operative pain

    one weak after application of intracanal medication

Study Arms (3)

Group 1: Chlorohexidine (CHX) gel.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Application of Chlorohexidine intracanal medication in secondry endodontic infection cases

Other: antimicrobial efficacy of nano based intracanal medications on Enterococcus faecalis count reduction in secondary endodontic infection cases.

Group 2: Chlorohexidine loaded by silver nanoparticles (Ag-np) gel.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Application of chlorohexidine loaded by silver nanoparticles (Ag-np) gel intracanal medication in secondry endodontic infection cases

Other: antimicrobial efficacy of nano based intracanal medications on Enterococcus faecalis count reduction in secondary endodontic infection cases.

Group 3: Triple antibiotic-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (tachnp) gel.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Application of triple antibiotic-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (tachnp) gelintracanal medication in secondry endodontic infection cases

Other: antimicrobial efficacy of nano based intracanal medications on Enterococcus faecalis count reduction in secondary endodontic infection cases.

Interventions

The paper points of three samples (S1, S2, and S3) will be placed each in a sterile falcon tube containing 1ml of brain heart infusion and labeled according to the type of intracanal medication used. Samples will be homogenized by the vortex and and one micron of each sample will be cultured on Bile Esculin Agar for E. faecalis. The plate will be labeled as the tube of the same sample and incubated at 37οC for 24-48 h and then after incubation, the total numbers of E.faecalis will be counted and calculated to get the colony forming units (CFU/ml).
