| Summary: | Background and Objective:
This study investigated the effects of different activation techniques on the penetration and distribution of nanoparticle-based irrigants in root canals.
Materials and Methods:
Forty-five extracted mandibular premolars were divided into three groups: conventional syringe irrigation (control), ultrasonic activation, and laser activation, each using silver nanoparticles. Confocal laser scanning microscopy and Image J software analyzed penetration depth.
Results:
The mean penetration depths of 2.79 mm (control), 6.58 mm (laser), and 5.37 mm (ultrasonic). Welch’s one-way ANOVA revealed significant differences (P < 0.001), with laser activation achieving the greatest penetration.
Conclusion:
Laser activation of AgNPs enhances root canal disinfection compared to other methods. |
