Abstract:Background
To evaluate the effects of 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 9% and 18% etidronic acid (HEBP), and 1% and 2% peracetic acid (PAA) used alone or in combination with NaOCl on Enterococcus faecalis biofilms by using laser scanning confocal microscope.
Methods
E. faecalis biofilms were experimentally developed on the dentine discs obtained from one hundred and fifteen teeth. Infected dentine discs were randomly divided into 11 experimental (n = 10) and one control group (n = 5) according to… Show more
