Enhanced Bactericidal Efficacy of NaOCl at pH 12 Followed by Acidified NaOCl at pH 6.5 on <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> Biofilm

Enhanced Bactericidal Efficacy of NaOCl at pH 12 Followed by Acidified NaOCl at pH 6.5 on <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> Biofilm

This study aimed to determine the bactericidal efficacy of sequential use of NaOCl pH 12 followed by acidified NaOCl pH 6.5, and compare it to that of either of these NaOCl solutions alone. <i>E. faecalis</i> biofilm was grown on standardized dentine specimens for four weeks. The specime...
