Abstract
Endodontic flora is dominated in the apical part of the channels by strict anaerobic
and some facultative anaerobic bacteria but also by Candida yeasts, especially Candida
albicans species that are involved in the maintenance and persistence of endodontic
infections. Their elimination of the canal system in practice by chemo-mechanical
methods of disinfection is not always guaranteed. Thus, this in vitro study was performed
to determine the sensitivity of C. albicans with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) dosed
at 2.5 %, the chlorhexidine digluconate 0.5 % and calcium hydroxide used in inter-session
medication.
