Cytocompatibility and Antibacterial Properties of Capping Materials
Figure 1
Antibacterial activity of the different pulp-capping materials evaluated by agar diffusion test. Each paper disk impregnated with the different pulp-capping materials was placed on agar plates previously incubated with the indicated streptococcal strains and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. The positive control was represented by a 10% dilution of 30% H2O2. 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.
