Effects of a 980-Nm Diode Laser’s Activation of 2.5% Naocl and 2% Chlorhexidine Antifungal Irrigation Solutions on Candida Albicans Biofilms

Abstract: Objective: Candida albicans is the most frequently found fungi in persistent root canal infections; it can form a biofilm and penetrate into dentinal tubules. Endodontic irrigants, such as 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), have antifungal properties, but limited penetration into dentinal tubules, which somewhat protects the C. albicans fungi. The use of a diode laser is an innovative approach in root canal treatments because it is able to penetrate deeper into the dentinal tubules. T… Show more

“…Previous literature has not found an explanation of how the diode laser of a wavelength of 980 nm has affected the biofilm of C. albicans. Several researches have examined how bacteria are affected by lasers, the results suggest to be applied to C. albicans [ 27 ].…”

“…Nevertheless, diode Laser activation of EDTA enhances removing the smear layer from the apical third of the root canal [52]. Moreover, diode laser activation of CHX increased its penetration through dentinal tubes [53]. The previous enhancement in irrigants features, which increased in disinfecting and cleaning of the root canal system rather than the healing characters of the diode laser itself [54], may re ect in pain decreasing in patients of diode laser as an IAS group in comparison with the control group through all follow-up periods.…”
