Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHG) is considered the most effective and safe antimicrobial agent in dentistry. Recently, it has often been produced form of preparations with additional substances that may modify its effect. The aim present study was to compare efficacy various simple combined CHG rinses against selected bacterial yeast strains. This research followed European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) guidelines, using disk diffusion method. carried out...

In contemporary dentistry, laser-based interventions have become one of the mainstays care for patients with oral biofilm diseases, such as candidiasis, periodontal disease and peri-implantitis. The purpose this study was to evaluate effectiveness Er:YAG laser (LightWalker, Ljubljana, Fotona, Slovenia) irradiation at varying irradiance levels (T1: 11.3 W/cm2 T2: 120.54 W/cm2) on microbial viability in single- dual-species models, focusing Candida albicans, glabrata Streptococcus mutans,...

The oral microbiota consists of a diverse range microorganisms, with Streptococcus spp. and Candida frequently coexisting in infections. aim the study was to investigate impact Er:YAG (erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) laser therapy, utilizing PS04 fractional beam, on vitro growth biofilm formation clinical strains albicans, glabrata mutans. Singleand dual-species planktonic cultures biofilms were exposed an using handpiece. effects evaluated immediately after irradiation 24 h...

The success of endodontic retreatment relies on the effective elimination pathogenic microflora from root canal. study aimed to investigate effects an erbium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser and a 635-nm healing asymptomatic chronic periapical lesions (PLs) in endodontically treated teeth reduction postoperative pain. Forty patients with PLs mandibular molars were referred for canal (RCR). Conventional chemo-mechanical treatment was conducted control group (G1; n = 20). In test...

(opportunistic commensal) S. mutans (facultatively anaerobic) infections is increasing, despite available treatments. Cultures were irradiated using (LightWalker, Fotona) (Genova, LightWalker, at following parameters: group G1: 0.25 W, 10 Hz, 15 s, 3 J G2: 1 60s, 59 J. results evaluated directly 24 h after irradiation a...

Background: Mechanical debridement is the gold standard in periodontitis therapy. However, it suggested that adjunctive use of lasers can result a more effective treatment outcome. Objective: Evaluate efficiency diode laser-assisted nonsurgical therapy as to scaling and root planing (SRP). Methods: One hundred sixty vertical bone defects [pocket depth (PD) at baseline ≥6 mm] had been randomly allocated receive SRP alone (group C) or coupled laser (980 nm) protocol C+L): SRP, irrigation with...

A successful treatment of periodontitis depends largely on the elimination periodontopathogens during non-surgical and surgical mechanical debridement.
