Synergistic Antimicrobial Effect of Photodynamic Inactivation and SWEEPS in Combined Treatment against <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> in a Root Canal Biofilm Model: An In Vitro Study

Synergistic Antimicrobial Effect of Photodynamic Inactivation and SWEEPS in Combined Treatment against <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> in a Root Canal Biofilm Model: An In Vitro Study

Background: Persistent bacterial infections caused by biofilm-associated <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> are a global public health concern. This study aims to compare the biofilm removal effects of methylene blue (MB) or hydrogen peroxide (HP) mediated photodynamic inactivation (PDI) with...
