Table 1 Mean and Standard Deviation (SD) of the Colony forming units counted and readings tabulated after treating with various medicaments at 200 and 400 µm level. The results indicate that there was a 100% reduction of E. faecalis and C. albicans when k21, chlorhexidine (CHX) and calcium hydroxide were used as intracanal medicament for 5 days
