The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of dentin treatment duration (10 minutes, 24 hours, and seven days) with Tetraclean on its residual antibacterial activity in bovine root dentin. Results showed that the number of colony-forming units in all three experimental groups was zero at the first culture. Furthermore, the 10-minute group and seven-day group demonstrated the highest and the lowest number of colony-forming units, respectively.
