The materials were tested immediately after application to the microtiter wells and after setting for 1-day and for 7-days. Ten microliters of microbial suspension was added to each well for direct contact with each material for 1 h at 37 degrees C and 100% humidity. Then fresh media was added and, survival of bacteria and fungi was determined by using 10-fold serial dilution and inoculated onto agar plates. In fresh and 1-day samples all of tested materials showed statistically significant antimicrobial effects compared to control groups (p<0.05). In 7-day samples, there were no significantly differences compared to control groups. MTA, iRoot BP and iRoot BP Plus had similar antimicrobial efficacy against E. faecalis and C. albicans.en10.4012/dmj.2013-250info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAntimicrobialMineral trioxide aggregateiRoot BPiRoot BP PlusArticle33445345724598240Q1WOS:000342527100002Q3
