Abstract
:
Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of combined 2780 nm Er,Cr:YSGG and 940 nm diode laser activated irradiation with or without endodontic disinfecting solutions against inoculated E. faecalis biofilm. Materials and Methods: Seventy-five extracted human single rooted teeth with root curvature of ≤ 15° were prepared to size 40, 0.06 taper. Autoclaved specimens were inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis and incubated in a carbon dioxide incubator for 4 weeks except for the negative control (n = 5). Infected teeth were randomly divided into six groups (n = 10): treated with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite for 2 min. (Group 1); 5.25% sodium hypochlorite for 2 min. then 1 min. 2% chlorhexidine (Group 2); dual laser (2780 nm Er,Cr:YSGG and 940 nm diode) with saline for 24 sec. (Group 3); dual laser with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite for 24 sec. (Group 4); dual laser with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite followed by 2% chlorhexidine for 24 sec. (Group 5); saline syringe irrigation for 2 min. (Group 6). Colony forming units were generated from bacterial samples before and after disinfection and evaluated with colony counter device and OpenCFU software. Data were statistically analysed by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests for multiple comparison at 0.003 Bonferroni adjusted p value. Results: Complete decontamination of root canals (100%) were achieved by Group 1, Group 2, Group 4 and Group 5 with no statistically significant difference among them (P <0.003). Moreover, dual laser with saline and saline syringe irrigation had inferior antimicrobial effect with reduction rate of 56.25% and 79.39% respectively and no significant difference between them (P > 0.003). Conclusion: The current result indicated that dual laser activated saline had insufficient antimicrobial effect, whereas sufficiently activated sodium hypochlorite with/without chlorohexidine to achieve complete canal decontamination.
