Background and aim: Colonization of residual organisms in the root canal are major causes of root canal treatment failure.Therefore, the effective removal of organisms during root canal cleaning stages is of great importance.In this study, we aimed to investigate and compare the antimicrobial effects of several methods including high power laser irradiation, photodynamic therapy and triple antibiotic paste (TAP) on Enterococcus faecalis in the root canal. Materials and methods:For the present laboratory study, 80 anterior single canal teeth were randomly divided into seven experimental groups (970 nm diode laser irradiation, 445 nm diode laser irradiation, 660 nm photodynamic therapy with doxycycline as a photosensitizer, TAP, 970 nm diode laser combined with TAP, 445 nm diode laser combined with TAP and sodium hypochlorite groups), each containing 2024; 19(1): 57-65
