Entrococcus faecalis Elimination in Root Canals Using Silver Nanoparticles, Photodynamic Therapy, Diode Laser, or Laser-activated Nanoparticles: An In Vitro Study
文摘
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of photodynamic therapy with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). AgNPs/indocyanine (ICG)/diode laser treatment was effective on Enterococcus faecalis colony reduction. Photodynamic therapy with AgNPs/ICG/diode has the potential to be used for canal disinfection.
