Antimicrobial and physical properties of experimental endodontic sealers containing vegetable extracts

Abstract To assess the antimicrobial activity and the physical properties of resin-based experimental endodontic sealers with the incorporation of vegetable extracts obtained from Bixa orellana, Mentha piperita, and Tagetes minuta species. The extracts were obtained and characterized by gas chromato...
