    The objective of this study was to determine the antibacterial effect of irrigating compounds against the Enterococcus faecalis strain. The methodology employed was applied, with an analytical experimental design. A sample of 80 plates inoculated with the E. faecalis strain was used, which were treated with each of the irrigating compounds. The diameter of the inhibition zones was evaluated at three different times: 24, 48, and 72 hours, using the Duraffourd scale as the classification criterion. The results showed that sodium hypochlorite-based irrigating compounds at 5.25% had an average inhibition zone diameter of 11.44 ± 2.05 mm, classifying them as "sensitive." Citric acid-based compounds at 40% exhibited an average inhibition zone diameter of 24.41 ± 2.18 mm, classifying them as "highly sensitive." Furthermore, digluconate of chlorhexidine 2% based compounds presented an average inhibition zone diameter of 19.39 ± 1.18 mm, classifying them as "very sensitive." In conclusion, the evaluated irrigating compounds demonstrated an antibacterial effect against the E. faecalis strain.
