Abstract

Tooth root canals with endodontic treatment can be reinfected because the continued presence of Enterococcus faecalis biofilm. Many techniques of has been proposed to eliminated this bacteria, however, these techniques no offer the fully elimination of the E. faecalis. In this pilot study cold plasma was effective in the fully inhibition of E. faecalis biofilm in infected tooth root canals.
