Survival of microbes after direct contact test for 10, 30 and 60 min with different sealers. Growth of E. faecalis after being in contact with fresh (a), one-day-set (c) or 7-day-set (e) sealers. Survival of E.coli after being in contact with fresh (b), one-day-set (d) or 7-day-set (f) sealers. Survival of C.albicans after being in contact with fresh (g), one-day-set (h) or 7-day-set (i) sealers. Bacterial suspension placed on uncoated wells was used as the control. The survival of bacteria was assessed by culturing aliquots of 20 μL into LBa or SDa plates after 10-fold serial dilutions. Colonies on the plates were counted after 48 h incubation and CFU/mL was calculated. All experiments were performed in duplicate.
