Cytotoxicity and Antimicrobial Effects of a New Fast-Set MTA

Figure 2

Agar diffusion test to measure the inhibition of FS-MTA and RS-MTA on bacterial growth; this particular grouping is result for E. faecalis. (a) Positive control, NaOCl 5.25%, (b) negative control, PBS, (c) RS-MTA solid, (d) FS-MTA solid, (e) RS-MTA oil, (f) FS-MTA oil, (g) RS-MTA PBS, and (h) FS-MTA PBS. Note that there is no zone of inhibition in any of the samples of RS-MTA or FS-MTA.
