No results posted yet for this study

Summary

this is a randomized controlled clinical trial, evaluating the antibacterial effect of laser diode and zinc oxide nano-particles when used as cavity disinfectants.Two groups, including 15 patients each, will be randomly allocated so that each group receives one of either interventions (15 patients will undergo cavity disinfection by laser diode, while the other 15 patients will undergo cavity disinfection by zinc oxide nano-particles). For each patient, a dentin sample will be taken before and after cavity disinfection. The dentin samples will be microbiologically analyzed to assess the difference in the bacterial count (out come assessment). The results will be statistically analyzed.

Conditions

  • Dental Caries

Interventions

OTHER

zinc oxide nano-particles

The zinc oxide nano-powder will be mixed with ethanol

DEVICE

laser diode

The laser light is transferred through a 600µm flexible fiber optic tip by a special hand piece. the output power will be adjusted at 1.5W.
