Evaluation of the effect of two types of laser on the growth of streptococcus mutans.
Conclusions: The colonies of S. mutans were susceptible to either CO2 laser or Nd:YAG laser in the presence of TBO with no significant difference. So these lasers with this photosensitizer may be useful in prevention of dental caries and antimicrobial treatment protocols.
