Use of electromagnetic stimulation on an Enterococcus faecalis biofilm on root canal treated teeth in vitro

Abstract Root canal disinfection is of utmost importance in the success of the treatment, thus, a novel method for achieving root canal disinfection by electromagnetic waves, creating a synergistic reaction via electric and thermal energy, was created. To study electromagnetic stimulation (EMS) for...
