Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of Glycyrrhiza glabra as root canal disinfectant. Background: Liquorice is the root of G. glabra from which a sweet flavor can be extracted. A number of pharmaceutical effects of liquorice are known anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anticarcinogenic. Glycyrrhizin, a triterpenoid compound, accounts for the sweet taste of liquorice root. Liquorice has also shown greater biocompatibility with fibroblasts cells compared to calcium hydroxide, which was severely toxic to the cells. Materials and Methods: In vitro studies were conducted using freshly extracted single-rooted premolars. Using a Gates Glidden drill, root canal was enlarged. Enterococcus faecalis was used as the culture suspension against which the activity of the extract was tested. Conclusion: Liquorice (G. glabra) shows effective bactericidal activity against E. faecalis and can be used as an effective root canal disinfectant.
