This study evaluated the influence of three different vehicles on the antibacterial activity of calcium hydroxide against four bacterial species commonly found in endodontic infections. For this purpose, a broth dilution test using 24-well cell culture plates was performed. Results showed that all pastes were effective in killing the bacteria tested, but at different times. The calcium hydroxide/camphorated paramonochlorophenol/glycerin paste was the most effective against the four bacterial strains tested.
