Abstract

Background: Conventional chemical root canal disinfection has been around for generations but it has its own drawbacks. Because of this there is a need for a better alternative for intracanal disinfection method. This alternative can be in the form of lasers, especially due to recent advances in laser technology. Methodology: The aim of the study is to compare chemical vs laser disinfection in primary root canal. This method has been tested in permanent teeth but not in primary teeth, this study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of laser disinfection compared to chemical disinfection. Results: The use of chemical disinfection by 5 ml of 5.25% NaOCl led to 96.7% microbial reduction against diode laser which achieved 97.7% reduction as compared to baseline microbial count and 34.4% reduction after irrigation using normal saline solution. Conclusion: Diode laser has similar root canal disinfection efficacy as compared to 5.25% NaOCl in primary canals. Diode lasers can be used as an alternative to chemical disinfection.

激光消毒与化学消毒在初级根管中的效果比较——体外抗菌研究

背景:传统的化学根管消毒已经存在了几代人，但它有自己的缺点。因此，需要一种更好的替代管内消毒方法。这种替代方案可以采用激光的形式，特别是由于激光技术的最新进展。方法:比较化学消毒与激光消毒在根管中的应用。该方法已在恒牙中进行了测试，但未在乳牙中进行测试，本研究是为了评估激光消毒与化学消毒的效果。结果:用5.25% NaOCl 5 ml进行化学消毒，对二极管激光的微生物数量减少96.7%，与基线相比减少97.7%，与生理盐水冲洗后减少34.4%。结论:二极管激光根管消毒效果与5.25% NaOCl根管消毒效果相当。二极管激光可以作为化学消毒的替代品。
