One of the biggest challenges in endodontics is the complete disinfection of root canals. In addition to mechanical preparation, the technique traditionally also involves channel disinfection with other agents such as sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, chlorhexidine, or a combination of these. Some bacterial species are particularly resistant to eradication. Using Enterococcus faecalis in this preliminary study, we tested the bactericidal effectiveness of the Fenton reaction and the photo-Fenton reaction using an LED light with a 400-nm wavelength. Discs of hydroxyapatite were incubated in brain-heart broth contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis. After 4 days, they were decontaminated with different bactericidal agents, including some with proven and well-known efficacy (5% sodium hypochlorite and 3% hydrogen peroxide) and other treatments using solutions of 1.5% hydrogen peroxide and 0.15% iron gluconate (Fenton reaction) plus LED light at a Fluence of 4.0 J/cm(2) (photo-Fenton reaction). The photo-Fenton reaction demonstrated comparable performance to that of sodium hypochlorite in eliminating Enterococcus faecalis.
