Abstract :
- Fusobacteriumnucleatum (F. nucleatum) has
been reported as a trigger for endodontic infections. This
infection can be treated by cleaning and shaping
procedures using EDTA irrigation and NaOCl. Both of
these materials have some drawbacks. Lerak fruit
(Sapindusrarak DC) inhibited the growth of gramnegative bacteria such as F. nucleatum. This study aimed
to evaluate the potential of Sapindusrarak DC in
inhibiting the development and formation of F. biomass
concerning the porosity of the root canal walls. This study
used F. nucleatum isolate ATCC 23726 and ethanol
extract of Lerak fruit. Using SEM, the assessment was
carried out by evaluating the biomass index, adhesion
test, and root canal wall porosity. The results showed the
results showed Lerak fruit extract with concentrations
