Abstract
Complete eradication of bacterial infection from the root canal with minimum or no effect on the microhardness of the dentin is desirable for the success of endodontic treatment. The effect of nanoparticle based intracanal medicaments on the root dentine microhardness was assessed. The medicaments used were combination of calcium hydroxide - silver nanoparticles, Combination of graphene oxide - silver nanoparticles, Calcium hydroxide and a control group. Vickers hardness value were evaluated and compared at coronal, middle and apical third level. Graphene oxide - silver nanoparticles based intracanal medicament showed least effect on the microhardness of the root dentin compared to calcium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide combined with silver nanoparticle based intracanal medicaments.
