OBJECTIVES: Comparison between different disinfection modalities in reducing Streptococcus mutans count within dental cavities.
RESEARCH QUESTION: whether using an antibacterial agent has a value in reducing the bacterial load in the dental cavity and what is the best modality. Cariogenic bacteria can remain viable in the dentine even after complete removal of caries, so the use of cavity disinfectants before restoration placement is crucial, such as chlorohexidine, Er:YAG and Diode laser 980 nm. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the antibacterial effect of chlorohexidine, Er:YAG and diode laser 980 nm as cavity disinfectants.
METHODS: Forty sound extracted human primary molars were randomly assigned to four groups (ten teeth in each group); group I: (negative control): no disinfection was applied, group II: (positive control): application of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate solution, group III: a 980 nm diode laser (LASOTRONIX, Poland) was used at 1 W in continuous wave mode, and group IV: an Er:YAG laser was used at a, power 1.2 W. The antibacterial efficacy against Streptococcus mutans bacteria was assessed via colony forming units (CFU) and optical density of bacteria before treatment and after treatment.
RESULTS: A statistically significant increase in bacterial count was observed in the negative control group (Gp1). Treatment groups 2, 3, and 4 showed a significant reduction in bacterial count from baseline to post-treatment.Er:YAG group showed the highest percentage of reduction of bacterial count with a statistically significant difference with other groups. No statistically significant difference was shown between chlorohexidine and diode laser groups.
CONCLUSIONS: The Er:YAG laser demonstrated the highest antibacterial efficacy against Streptococcus mutans when compared with chlorhexidine and the diode laser (980 nm). Although all three disinfection methods showed significant antibacterial activity.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The superior antibacterial performance of the Er:YAG laser supports its use in clinical practice for managing deep carious lesions. These findings highlight the importance of thorough cavity disinfection before restoration placement to minimize bacterial persistence and reduce the risk of secondary caries.
CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: not applicable.
