Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) on the growth and biofilm formation of specific oral microorganisms, aiming to explore its potential as an antibacterial and antifungal treatment alongside its use in tissue healing.
- Two experimental groups with different power settings (low and high) were irradiated, and their microbial growth was measured using colony-forming units, comparing results with an unexposed control group.
- Significant antimicrobial effects were observed, particularly with higher laser settings, showing up to 94.3% reduction in specific biofilm cultures, although the effectiveness lessened after 24 hours.
