Antimicrobial Efficacy of Fruit Peels Eco-Enzyme against <i>Enterococcus Faecalis</i>: An In Vitro Study
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), an effective endodontic irrigant against <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> (EF), is harmful to periapical tissues. Natural pineapple-orange eco-enzymes (M-EE) and papaya eco-enzyme (P-EE) could be potential alternatives. This study aimed to assess the antimicrobia...

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), an effective endodontic irrigant against <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> (EF), is harmful to periapical tissues. Natural pineapple-orange eco-enzymes (M-EE) and papaya eco-enzyme (P-EE) could be potential alternatives. This study aimed to assess the antimicrobial efficacy of M-EE and P-EE at different concentrations and fermentation periods against EF, compared to 2.5% NaOCl.
