Topical microemulsion systems for the antifungal activity containing Clotrimazole are designed to overcome the problems associated with its low solubility (0.49 mg/L) and slow dissolution in aqueous solutions. In this study‚ Clotrimazole was incorporated in jambhul honey microemulsion formulation without causing instability of the emulsion. The solubility of Clotrimazole in various oils‚ surfactants and cosurfactants was assessed to finalize the components of the w/o and o/w microemulsions. The pseudoternary

Antibacterial action of the irrigants against Enterococcus faecalis in the root canal The overall percentage reduction of E. faecalis inside the root canal after biomechanical procedures was presented in table1. All the irrigants significantly reduced bacteria in comparison with positive control group (P< 0.01). The average reduction of bacteria in the presence of E.galbie did not have any significant difference with 2.5% NaOCl‚ CHX 2%‚ CHX 0.2% and M.communis L. (P > 0.05). The average reduction
