Summary
Successful endodontic treatment depends primarily on the elimination of infecting
microorganisms. This is done by chemo-mechanical preparation of root canals, which is not
enough and microorganisms might still survive. Thus, from the main requirements of sealers is
to have antibacterial properties and adaptability. Those requirements are needed to kill
persisting bacteria after obturation and provide effective seal. Therefore, nanosilver and
chitosan inserted to BC sealer and so the antibacterial activity will be assessed on E.
faecalis using direct contact test after the setting of the sealer, and the results will be
reported using percentage reduction of the colony forming units. Besides, adaptability will
be assessed using scanning electron microscope.
