One-way ANOVA and Turkey's test were applied for statistical analysis using the SPSS software version 22.0.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Group II (NaOCl) showed maximum reduction in bacterial load followed by Group V (GH12 16mg/mL) with no statistically significant difference (p=1.000). On comparing the mean CFU reduction, the maximum reduction was identified for S. mutans and the least was for P. gingivalis. There was marked erosion observed in the NaOCl group whereas the GH12 group showed no erosive changes in the morphology and no bacterial colonies was identified.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The findings revealed that GH12 at higher concentrations inhibits and disrupts the growth of multispecies endodontic biofilm comparable to NaOCl but without erosive effects to the dentine, further highlighting its potential to be used as an antimicrobial solution.
