Dentin decontamination using chloramine T prior to experiments involving bacteria
Rolland, S.L., et al. - ChlT breakdown is accelerated by organic material. L. acidophilus is highly sensitive to chlT. ChlT readily leaches from dentin but rinsing does not reduce chlT concentration below MIC/MBC. Low levels of chlT may remain but will probably be in a less active form. Teeth disinfected in chlT for use in research involving bacteria must be stored in distilled water for at least 2 h to reduce chlT concentration below MBC, although longer will give greater elution and breakdown [more...]
