Efficacy of Supplementary Irrigation Methods Against Bacterial Biofilm‐Infected Root Canals Prepared With Minimally Invasive and Conventional Techniques
Observational analysis evaluated biofilm removal using different irrigation methods in root canals, highlighting distinctions between minimally invasive and conventional techniques.
Key Points
GWS showed a significantly higher proportion of dead cells in conventional techniques compared to other methods, implying it may be more effective.
In minimally invasive techniques, no significant differences were noted among the irrigation methods, suggesting effectiveness may vary by approach.
Assessments were performed using advanced imaging techniques, including confocal laser scanning and scanning electron microscopy.
GWS and LAI were identified as more effective against biofilm compared to UAI and SI, indicating potential for improved treatment outcomes.
