Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of low concentrations of sodium hypochlorite, with and without laser activation, on Enterococcus faecalis biofilms in extracted teeth.
  • The methodology involved inoculating root canals of extracted teeth with E. faecalis and treating them with various concentrations of sodium hypochlorite, including combinations with laser activation, before measuring bacterial recovery.
  • Results showed that teeth treated with laser-activated 4% sodium hypochlorite had significantly fewer viable bacteria compared to those with 1% sodium hypochlorite, indicating that the low-powered laser did not enhance the antibacterial effect of sodium hypochlorite.
