Comparing the efficacy of herbal irrigants using laser activation in removing endodontic pathogens: An in vitro analysis
The antibacterial activity of <i>A. indica</i> and <i>M. citrifolia</i> was comparable with 3% NaOCl. Hence, they can be used as an alternative to the most commonly used chemical root canal irrigants. Laser activation can be used as an adjuvant in eradication of microbes from the root canal system.
