“…More important than our results, which are contributions to the establishment of a photodynamic therapy protocol, this study confirmed the effectiveness of a protocol of contamination, culture and material collection for later bacterial count [25]. In this study, samples were extracted bovine teeth, but this protocol can also be used with extracted human teeth.…”

“…These mechanisms include physical or chemical diffusion barriers that prevent antimicrobial penetration into the biofilm, the slow growth of bacteria in the biofilm due to nutrient limitation, the activation of the general stress response, and also the emergence of a biofilm-specific phenotype (7). Some physical approaches have been used as assistant tools to enhance the effectiveness of traditional antimicrobial intracanal disinfection (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). However, the antibacterial activity of these methods can be limited in complex root canal systems.…”

“…The use of ultrasonic activation (US) as an auxiliary technique in endodontic therapy has been suggested as a method to increase cleaning and disinfection of the root canal system 8,14 . However, its use has been limited to endodontic irrigants such as NaOCl and calcium hypochlorite 15,16 . Our goals were to investigate the influence of ultrasonic activation on improvement of four chelating agents in smear layer removal.…”
