Abstract

The object of this study was to test a new method of sterilizing endodontic instruments by using a carbon dioxide laser system. This was done by contaminating endodontic reamers with spores, exposing them to a CO2 laser beam, and checking for their viability by standard microbiologic techniques. It was found that 100 percent of the spores were killed by the CO2 laser. This holds promise as an effective method of sterilizing endodontic instruments in the future.

摘要

本研究的目的是测试一种使用二氧化碳激光系统对根管治疗器械进行消毒的新方法。具体做法是用孢子污染根管扩大锉，将其暴露于二氧化碳激光束下，然后通过标准微生物技术检查其活力。结果发现，100%的孢子被二氧化碳激光杀死。这有望成为未来根管治疗器械消毒的有效方法。
