The present study aimed to evaluate ex vivo the antimicrobial activity of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) 2.5% and 5.25%, chlorhexidine (CHX) liquid and gel 2% and MTAD in Enterococcus faecalis biofilms, on human dentin matrix. 118 mandibular human incisors, single rooted, were instrumented and sectioned transversal and longitudinally. The root sections obtained were immersed in TSB broth and autoclaved, thereafter, they were inoculated with suspensions of E. faecalis and incubated at 37°C, for 72h to allow biofilm formation. Samples were randomly divided in 5 experimental groups, with 40 samples per group, and 2 control groups, with 3 samples each. The biofilm developed over the dentin matrix was placed under the action the antimicrobial solutions for 1, 5, 15 e 30 minutes. The antimicrobial activity was assessed through CFU counts. After the action of the antimicrobial solutions, the root fragments were immersed in an Enterococci selective broth, incubated at 37º C for 72 hours, and evaluated for broth turbidity. The analysis of the percentage of bacterial reduction depending on the time and on the solution demonstrated no statistic difference among the CHX gel, NaOCl 2.5% and 5.25%(p>0.05). However, the CHX liquid and MTAD were less effective than NaOCl 2,5% and NaOCl 5,25% (p<0.05) and similar to CHX gel. Only CHX liquid and MTAD had statistical differences in its efficacy depending on the time. CHX was less effective in 1 and 5 minutes (p<0.05) and MTAD in 1 minute. When analyzing the bacterial viability in the dentin, NaOCl 5.25% and MTAD were superior to CHX gel, CHX liquid and NaOCl 2,5%; and the time of 30 minutes was statistically different than the others (p<0.05). Based on the results obtained it seems licit to conclude that NaOCl 2,5% and 5,25% and CHX gel 2% were the most effective in the elimination of E. faecalis at all times tested. MTAD presented effective antimicrobial action after 5 minutes of action. However, when the bacterial survival in the dentin was assessed, NaOCl 5.25% and MTAD were the most effective, and the minimum time for wide bacterial elimination in the dentinal tubules was 30 minutes.
