| Popis: | Background: Golden standard of cleaning infected root canals with irrigants does not completely remove pathogens. The aim of our study was to estimate efficacy of Er:YAG laser compared to standard irrigation with NaOCl in infected root canals. Methods: 140 extracted premolar singlerooted teeth were used. The crowns were cut off so that we obtained 15 mm of root canal. Samples were divided into four groups and inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans, Streptococcus sanguinis, Fusobacterium nucleatum. As disinfecting methods we performed Er:YAG laser radiation and irrigation with 5.20% NaOCl. Viability of microorganisms was analyzed using fluorescence by flow cytometry. Results: Both methods effectively eliminated major percent of microorganisms. Statistical differences were observed between tested organisms (p |
