Resumo
Objective: to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of three root canal obturation materials in pediatric dentistry. Materials and method: calcium hydroxide, Vitapex® and Endo-flas® were evaluated and compared with each other. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated against Escherichia coli, bacteria commonly isolated from the root canals of primary teeth. A descriptive statistics and analytical statistics (Mann-Whitney’s U-test) were performed to evaluate the results. Results: all materials showed antimicrobial activity after 24 hours. The intergroup comparison revealed significant differences. Endoflas® showed significantly higher inhibition zones.Conclusion: Endoflas® has superior antimicrobial activity, fol-lowed by calcium hydroxide and Vitapex®
