Efficacy of endodontic applications of ozone and low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma on root canals infected with Enterococcus faecalis

Abstract: Significance and Impact of the Study: The present study handles different perspectives on chemomechanical preparation of root canals. Ozone and low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma (LTAPP) were investigated to determine whether they could be an alternative for NaOCl. Up to now, chemical solutions (NaOCl, chlorhexidine digluconate, etc.…) have been used to disinfect the root canals. When the reported effects of LTAPP on biological and chemical decontamination were taken into consideration, a question ros… Show more

“…The values for the coronal, middle and apical third were 3.2 log10, below detection level and 3.4 log10, respectively. This shows that the antibacterial effect can be substantiated over the total length of the root canal [50]. E. faecalis is capable of penetrating the radial dentin tubuli up to 1000 µm [7] and may reinfect the filled root canal system after the primary treatment.…”
