The Penetration Depth and Bactericidal Efficacy of 2% Chlorhexidine Iontophoresis in Human Coronal Dentin In Vitro

Key Points

• Reduced viability of intratubular bacteria was observed, indicating bactericidal efficacy.
• The method utilized 2% chlorhexidine iontophoresis to assess penetration depth in tissue.
• Assessment involved testing in human coronal dentin samples under controlled conditions.
• Findings suggest potential for chlorhexidine iontophoresis in dental treatments; further clinical validation needed.
