Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
Abstract
Enterococcus faecalis is a common endodontic pathogen that causes unsuccessful treatments because standard methods of debridement cannot remove it from the root canal system. Methods of debridement are effective relative to debriding multifactorial bacterial biofilms in apical pathogens. Therefore, neutrosophic plithogenic hypotheses are proposed to measure the uncertainty and variability of the bacterial response. Therefore, this work attempted to determine the impact of laser treatment (diode and Er:YAG) as an adjunct agent relative to and in conjunction with traditional irrigants in the reduction of E. faecalis. The diode and Er:YAG laser support increased disinfection efficacy over standard irrigants as they successfully remove biofilm. More specifically, the diode laser yields the optimal result as its bactericidal nature is defended and its biostimulatory ability implies cellular healing. This research presents specific calculations for types of bacterial resistance based upon an analysis that transcends bipolar statistical assessments while championing lasers as translational quality improvements within the realm of endodontics. Furthermore, this work also provides a systematic structure for experimental endeavors within uncertain environments regarding complex biological systems, setting a new standard for all subsequent studies.
