    The main objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial action of the irrigant compounds Sodium Hypochlorite at 5%, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) at 17%, and Chlorhexidine Gluconate at 2% against Enterococcus faecalis strains. This in vitro experimental study, cross-sectional, and prospective, included root canal irrigants and 15 wells per group in Petri plates inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis. To assess the antibacterial action, the agar diffusion method was used, and the samples were incubated at 37°C. After 24 hours, the bacterial inhibition zones were measured and recorded. Kruskal-Wallis test was used for statistical analysis. The results showed that EDTA at 17% had the highest antibacterial action against E. faecalis, presenting an inhibition zone of 25 mm, followed by Chlorhexidine Gluconate at 2% with an inhibition zone of 23 mm, and Sodium Hypochlorite at 5% with an inhibition zone of 11 mm. The study concluded that EDTA at 17% has significantly higher antibacterial action compared to Chlorhexidine Gluconate at 2%, followed by Sodium Hypochlorite at 5% against Enterococcus faecalis.
