Preclinical Testing of Boron-Doped Diamond Electrodes for Root Canal Disinfection—A Series of Preliminary Studies

Abstract: While numerous approaches have meanwhile been described, sufficient disinfection of root canals is still challenging, mostly due to limited access and the porous structure of dentin. Instead of using different rinsing solutions and activated irrigation, the electrolysis of saline using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes thereby producing reactive oxygen species may be an alternative approach. In a first step, experiments using extracted human teeth incubated with multispecies bacterial biofilm were conducted… Show more

“…It seems logical to take advantage of both capabilities when it is possible to integrate it into an applicable electrode configuration. The presented approach is a further development of the work from Koch et al, Böhm et al and Göltz et al [13,14,[16][17][18][19]. This approach eliminates the need for an insulation containing polymers, which can lead to potentially undesirable by-products [28].…”

“…Approximately 20% of the BDD surface area was directly overgrown with UDD (Figure 7). The active surface was increased significantly in comparison to the approach of Koch et al [17]. In that approach, the polymer-based insulation blocked roughly 50% of the electrochemical active surface and, therefore, led to a potentially lower oxidative performance.…”
