Indocyanine green-activated photodynamic therapy with diode laser eradicates Enterococcus faecalis in infected root canals: An in vitro study
PDT with ICG and an 810 nm diode laser achieved complete eradication of <i>E. faecalis</i>, outperforming MB, CT, and laser alone. These results advocate for ICG-PDT as a potent adjunct in endodontic disinfection protocols.
