The natural products used aims to disinfect the root canal and provide a sterile environment as efficiently as the comparable chemical products. &lt;strong&gt;Aim:&lt;/strong&gt; To compare the antibacterial efficacy of cinnamon extract and calcium hydroxide as intracanal medicament against &lt;em&gt;E. fecalis.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The study is an &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; randomized controlled study conducted on 40 single rooted permanent teeth. The study sample was divided into two groups- cinnamon extract as intracanal medicament and calcium hydroxide. The intracanal medicament was placed for 7 days. The outcome was measures using colony forming units per ml. Statistical analysis was done using Mann-Whitney&amp;rsquo;s test to compare between the two groups. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Cinnamon extract intracanal medicament showed higher antibacterial efficacy as compared to calcium hydroxide. (p=0.002). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Cinnamon extract showed better antimicrobial efficacy against &lt;em&gt;E. feacalis&lt;/em&gt; as intracanal medicament as compared to calcium hydroxide.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">xx1165</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Veerale Panchal&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Deepa Gurunathan&lt;sup&gt;1,*&lt;/sup&gt;, Lakshmi Thangavelu &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
