The aim of this review was to present an overview of laboratory root canal biofilm model
systems described in the endodontic literature and to critically appraise the various factors …

Incomplete and inadequate removal of endodontic biofilm during root canal treatment often
leads to the clinical failure. Over the past decade, biofilm eradication techniques, such as …

Aim To evaluate the antimicrobial effect of laser‐activated irrigation (LAI) on biofilms formed
in simulated root canals. Methodology A dual‐species biofilm of Enterococcus faecalis and …

Aim Laser‐activated irrigation (LAI) using pulsed erbium lasers has been studied with
regard to canal cleaning, but its working mechanism remains poorly understood. This study …

Objective: The objective was to compare the efficacy of three different lasers in disinfection
of root canals inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans biofilms …

Activation techniques are essential for root canal disinfection but may result in incomplete
removal of bacteria. The aim of our study was to assess the antibacterial action of sonically …

Objective: To compare the antibacterial effectiveness of 0.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)
activated by the Er, Cr: YSGG laser-activated irrigation (LAI) and passive ultrasonic irrigation …

The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the percentage of penetration of three final
irrigant into the dentinal tubules after application of several irrigation techniques. Mandibular …

Bacteria living in biofilms exhibit altered growth phenotypes, while the biofilm provides
benefits, the foremost of which is a certain protection against both immune system and killing …

The onset and persistence of endodontic infections due to residual biofilm after chemical
disinfection promotes secondary bacterial infection. Alternative methods to disinfect …
