Popis: Abstract Objectives The study aimed to compare the antibacterial effect of a novel disinfectant, hyper-pure chlorine dioxide (hClO2) to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in various depths of dentin tubules. Materials and methods The distal root of the extracted lower molars was infected artificially with Enterococcus faecalis. The control group was rinsed with saline, and the test groups were irrigated with either 5% NaOCl or 0.12% hClO2. The longitudinally split teeth were stained by viability stain. The coronal third of the root was scanned with a confocal laser scanning microscope. The fluorescent intensities were measured, and the percentage of dead bacteria was calculated at depths up to 950 μm along the dentin tubules. The effect of penetration depth, irrigants, and their interaction on antimicrobial efficacy was determined by the linear mixed model. Results The percentage of dead bacteria was higher both in the NaOCl (45.1 ± 2.3%, p
