Efficacy of Diode Laser in Root Canal Disinfection
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Background: Enterococcus faecalis tolerates chemomechanical preparation and intracanal medicaments and remains viable within the tubules of dentine. Irrigation of root canals plays an important role in debriding and disinfecting the root canal system. The most commonly used irrigants are sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide and combination of both. The present study was conducted to elucidate the efficacy of diode laser in disinfection of the root canal.Materials and methods: The present study was conducted for a period of 6 months the study included 30 extracted non carious premolar teeth. E. faecalis was incubated in brain heart infusion agar and the root canals were filled with this and incubated for 21 days at 37 degree. The first group was control group. In this group the teeth were cleaned and shaped and no irrigation was done. In group II, teeth were irrigated with endovac solution. 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution was used for microirrigation. In group III, irrigation was done using diode laser. All the data was arranged in a tabulated form and analyzed statistically. SPSS software was used for analysis.Results: The mean colony forming units in Group I was 108 per ml, in group II it was 104 per ml and in Group III was 0 per ml. Group I demonstrated only 1% disinfection, Group II showed disinfection in 60% cases and Group III showed disinfection in 85% cases.Conclusion: In the present study, laser was efficacious in disinfection of the root canal compared to the standard techniques.
