This review is aimed at gathering the evidence on effectiveness of nanoparticle derived intracanal formulations against E. faecalis
compared to Calcium Hydroxide.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic search was conducted in Literature databases to find studies on the nanoparticle based
intracanal medicament effectiveness against the E. faecalis compared to the conventional medicaments. The search was conducted on
PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Cochrane, and Lilac until December 2023. The studies were screened for eligibility and included in
review. Data pertaining to research questions was extracted. The QUIN tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias.
RESULTS: The initial search retrieved 60 records, out of which 7 articles were included in the study.The studies retrieved included
countries India, Europe ,Iran and Saudi Arabia . Studies chosen reported the use of nanoparticle based intracanal medicament,its efficacy
in reducing E.faecalis in human teeth in comparison to Calcium Hydroxide.Microbial load that is mean colony count (sd) both group was
calculated and found to be statistically significant
