Bactericidal activity of erbium, chromium:yttrium–scandium–gallium–garnet laser in root canals
Arnabat J et al. - This study is to investigate the effectiveness of the erbium, chromium:yttrium–scandium–gallium–garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser by measuring its bactericidal effect inside root canals experimentally colonized with Enterococcus faecalis. The use of NaOCl 5% was the most effective procedure, with NaOCl 0.5% being the least effective; however, laser treatment was as effective as NaOCl 5% when applied at 2 W for 60 s. [more...]
