| Abstract | ||
| Objectives: This study was done to compare the efficacy of diode laser vs chlorhexidine CHX as root canal disinfectant in primary teeth. samples and methods: Thirty extracted single rooted freshly extracted teeth divided into three groups as the following: Group I: contain 10 teeth in which they were irrigated with saline solution. Group II: contain 10 teeth in which they were irrigated with CHX 2%. Group III: contain 10 teeth in which they were irradiated with diode laser (810nm). The colony forming unit was counted by multiplication of amount of colonies/plate. Results: After irrigation: there was a statistically a significant difference in mean % of reduction of CFU of E. faecalis in the three groups (p<0.001*). CHX and Laser group showed higher % of reduction of CFU of E. faecalis than Saline group. Conclusion: Bacterial count decrease by both techniques showing no statistical differences against enterococcus faecalis between 810 diode laser and 2% chlorhexidine. | ||
