Amongst the 10 samples evaluated for the endovac in conjunction with sodium hypochloride, 5 samples showed no growth while 5 samples showed growth of <103 in 5 samples. Amongst the 10 samples evaluated for laser irradiation in conjunction with sodium hypochloride, 8 samples showed no growth while 2 samples showed growth of <103 in 5 samples. The control group showed growth of <108 in all the samples. …show more content…
