Do Concentration or Photo-Activation Change Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide And Boric Acid On E.Faecalis Biofilm
Background: To evaluate the effects of hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) and boric-acid(BA) on E. faecalis biofilm with or without photo-activation by Germinator (Design for Vision, USA). Materials: Biofilm formation was provided on sterilized dentin discs. Five groups were created(n=8): 1.5%, 3% and 5% H2O2; 5 and 10% BA. Each was exposed to irrigation-solutions with or without photo-activation. ‘Biofilm killing-percentage’ (100%), (CFU/ml) was calculated, colony-counting was performed. One-way analysis of variance, Duncan, Tukey's tests were provided.Results: All irrigants reduced number of viable-bacteria in biofilm (p
