Photo-activated disinfection of the root canal: a new role for lasers in endodontics.
Because micro-organisms play a crucial role in the development of pulpal and periapical disease, the prognosis of endodontic therapy is intimately related to the presence of bacteria within the root canal system. Micro-organisms may persist in the apical region of the root canal system despite chemomechanical preparation. The usefulness of Class IV lasers (such as Nd:YAG, diode, KTP and Er:YAG)...
متن کاملHydrodynamic disinfection: tsunami endodontics.
Figure 1b: A 10-year post-treatment radiograph reveals excellent healing and confirms the importance of treating root canal systems. Introduction There are enormous differences in opinion regarding the potential to 3-dimensionally clean a root canal system. Elimination of pulpal tissue, bacteria (when present), and their related breakdown products is directly influenced by a series of procedura...
متن کاملEffects of ozone and photo-activated disinfection against Enterococcus faecalis biofilms in vitro.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the antibacterial effects of gaseous ozone (O3) and photo-activated disinfection (PAD) methods against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) biofilms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-five human mandibular premolars with straight root canals were selected. After root canal preparation, the samples were sterilized and placed into eppendorf tubes wit...
متن کاملthe antibacterial efficacy of photo-activated disinfection, chlorhexidine and sodium hypochlorite in infected root canals: an in vitro study
introduction: this study compared the efficacy of light-activated low-power laser, 2% chlorhexidine (chx) and 2.5% naocl in eliminating enterococcus faecalis ( e. faecalis) from the root canal system. methods and materials: the root canals of 60 maxillary central incisors were contaminated with e. faecalis and then the bacteria were incubated for 24 h. all the root canals were instrumented in a...
متن کاملEffect of photo-activated disinfection on bond strength of three different root canal sealers
INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the bond strength of Photo-Activated Disinfection (PAD) system to dentin with different root canal sealers by using a push-out test design. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 30 extracted mandibular premolar teeth with single and straight roots were used. The crowns were removed and the root canals were prepared by using ProTaper rotar...
