Abstract

Enterococcus faecalis is a microorganism frequently found after root canal treatment (RCT) and is the common cause of RCT failure. Irrigation is a crucial step in ensuring the success of RCT. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is a commonly used irrigation agent. However, it can cause unwanted effects such as periapical tissue irritation, cytotoxicity, and tissue destruction. As a result, many companies are currently developing safer alternative irrigation materials. Onion extract and lemon juice contain antibacterial compounds such as flavonoids, phenols, tannins, triterpenoids, alkaloids, and saponins, which make them good candidates for irrigation agents. This study aims to test the antibacterial activity of onion extract and lemon juice against Enterococcus faecalis bacteria. Methods Antibacterial activity was performed by disc diffusion test for various concentrations of onion extract and lemon juice (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, 3.125%), positive control (NaOCl 5.25%), and negative control (aquadest). Average diameters of the inhibition zones at 100%, 75%, and 50% concentration of onion extract and lemon juice were 7.10mm, 6.58mm, 4.88mm, and 15.47, 11.93mm, 9.98mm, respectively. Our result shows that onion extract and lemon juice might inhibit Enterococcus faecalis at minimum 50% concentration as shown by disc diffusion method.
