Methods: E. faecalis (ATCC 29212) inoculum was prepared and diluted to obtain 1 McF standard using spectrophotometer. Treatment groups were tested in triplicates and divided as the following: Manuka honeys MH 1 (n=3), MH2 (n=3), MH3 (n=3), Ca(OH) 2 (n=3), Positive control (n=3), Negative control (n=3). Test tubes with testing agents were placed in each RABIT insert cell as follows. 2.5 ml of TSB growth media were placed in each test tube. 2 g of the testing agent were placed in each corresponding tube except controls and vortex for few seconds. 0.1 g of dentin powder was added in each tube. Aliquots (0.5 ml) of the prepared E. faecalis broth dilution were added to the corresponding tube except the negative control. Prepared cells were placed in the incubator module.[TRUNCATED]en-USThis work is protected by copyright. Downloading is restricted to the BU community.
