The antibacterial and antifungal effects of medicated gutta-percha (MGP) over different time periods have not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial and antifungal effectiveness of MGP and regular gutta-percha cones over different time periods using the disk diffusion method. ⋯ The antimicrobial and antifungal characteristics of MGP may offer additional advantages over conventional gutta-percha.
