Objective:The aim of this study was to compare the bactericidal effect of various laser irradiation systems onEnterococcus faecalisbiofilms in dentinal tubules by using a novel dentin infection model and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).Background data:Laser-activated irrigations have been proposed as an adjuvant to conventional protocols of root canal treatment to enhance the smear layer removal, which is a promising protocol for root canal disinfection.Materials and methods:E. faecaliswere centrifuged into the dentinal tubules, cultured for 3 weeks, and then received 1- and 3-min treatments as follows: (A) 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) irrigation, (B) Nd:YAG laser irradiation, (C) diode laser irradiation, (D) Nd:YAP laser irradiation, (E) Er,Cr:YSGG laser-activated NaOCl irrigation, and (F) Er:YAG laser-activated NaOCl irrigation. Bacterial reductions were assessed by CLSM using a LIVE/DEAD®bacterial viability stain method.Results:For each group, the bacterial reduction increased as the treatment time increased (p< 0.05). The Er,Cr:YSGG and Er:YAG laser significantly enhanced the bactericidal effect of NaOCl (p< 0.05). Under the conditions of the same treatment time, bacterial reductions were presented in the descending order of Er:YAG + NaOCl, Er,Cr:YSGG + NaOCl > Nd:YAP > Nd:YAG, diode > NaOCl.Conclusions:Under the conditions of present study, treatments of Er:YAG + NaOCl and Er,Cr:YSGG + NaOCl presented the strongest bactericidal effect among the tested protocols and are potential protocols for root canal disinfection.
