Effects of sodium hypochlorite concentration and application time on bacteria in an ex vivo polymicrobial biofilm model

In endodontic treatment, it is important to remove or inactivate biofilms in the root canal system. We investigated the effects of different concentrations and application times of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on the viability of bacteria in ex vivo polymicrobial biofilms of different maturation levels.
