Background: The eradication of persisting bacteria, such as Enterococcus faecalis, is crucial for the long-term preservation of the endodontically treated tooth.
Context and Purpose of the study: The aim of this research was
to evaluate and compare the root canal disinfection potential of 5.25% sodium
hypochlorite, 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 810nm diode laser against control.
Results: A djunctive use of chemical disinfection by either
5.25% sodium hypochlorite or 2% chlorhexidine led to 100% microbial eradication
as against diode laser which achieved 97.7% reduction as compared to baseline
microbial count and 68.42% reduction after mechanical cleaning at the same
dilutions.
Main findings: Chemicals used in the study achieved greater
disinfection than diode laser irradiation.
