In vitro study shows Nd:YAG laser's antibiofilm activity in Trichophyton rubrum and Candida albicans, suggesting its use as adjunctive therapy.
, only one study has examined biofilm viability and ultrastructural changes after Nd:YAG irradiation. Therefore, in accordance with recent recommendations for biofilm research, we conducted a thorough assessment of the laser's antibiofilm activity. The antibiofilm efficacy of the Nd:YAG laser alone was suboptimal, supporting its potential use as an adjunctive therapy rather than a standalone treatment.
