Abstract
This study evaluated the effectiveness of moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves decoction for removing a smear layer compared to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), as well as its antimicrobial activities.The moringa leaves were extracted using hot water decoction at two different concentrations (2.5% and 5.0% w/v). A total of 30 extracted human single-rooted teeth were prepared to assess the smear layer removal efficacy. The presence of a smear layer in the middle third of the root canal was detected by confocal microscopy. Then the antibacterial effects were assessed against Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus mutans bacteria using the agar diffusion method.The 2.5% and 5.0% decoction were significantly more effective than 0.25% NaOCl in removing the smear layer (p < 0.05); however, no significant difference was observed compared to EDTA (p > 0.05). The in vitro antimicrobial assay showed that 5.0% decoction had higher antimicrobial activity against both of the test pathogens.The findings of this study suggest that moringa leaves decoction can be considered an effective irrigant in endodontics.هدفت الدراسة إلى تقييم فعالية مغلي أوراق الشجرة المعروفة بالمورينجا في إزالة الطبقة السميكة مقارنة بمادتين أخريين وكذلك الأنشطة المضادة للميكروبات.تم استخراج أوراق الشجرة باستخدام مغلي الماء الساخن بتركيزين مختلفين. تم تحضير ما مجموعه ثلاثين سنا بشريا مستخرجا ذو جذر واحد لتقييم فعالية إزالة الطبقة السميكة. تم حساب وجود الطبقة السميكة في الثلث الأوسط من قناة الجذر باستخدام الميكروسكوب الليزري الماسح الضوئي الحويصلي. ثم تم إجراء النشاط المضاد للبكتيريا على نوعين من البكتيريا باستخدام طريقة تشتت الأغار.وجدنا أن التراكيز 2,5% و 5% من المغلي أكثر فعالية بشكل ملحوظ في إزالة الطبقة السميكة، ومع ذلك، لم يتم ملاحظة فرق ملحوظ عند المقارنة مع المادتين الأخريين. أظهرت نتائج اختبار المضادات الحيوية المختبرية أن خمسة بالمائة من المغلي يظهر نشاطا مضادا للميكروبات أعلى ضد كلا المسارين التجريبيين.تشير هذه النتائج إلى أن مغلي أوراق الشجرة يمكن اعتباره محلولا فعالا في علاج الجذور.
