Evaluation of The Efficacy of Diode Laser, Chlorhexidine Digluconate Gel and Calcium Hydroxide Paste In The Disinfection Of Candida Albicans Infected Root Canals, In Vitro Study
Abstract:ABSTRACTthe study aims to evaluate the efficacy of CHX-gel, Ca(OH) 2 and diode laser in eliminating C.albicans from the root canal system and hence to eliminate the chances of reinfection and minimize treatment time. Materials and methods: 180 single rooted anterior teeth were prepared and divided into 4 equal groups, the first was prepared to ISO 60 while the 2 nd -4 th were prepared only to ISO40, all the teeth were then sterilized and inoculated with C.albicans suspensions for 14 days, followed by evaluatio… Show more
