Quantitative analysis of each irrigation group. There were no significant differences between the positive control and CNI, CNI and UAI, or among sound tooth (negative control), LAI and EA groups (Tukey Kramer test, p < 0.05). The LAI and EA groups showed significant bacterial reduction compared with the UAI, CNI and positive control groups (*). CNI: Conventional needle irrigation; UAI: Ultrasonically activated irrigation; EA: EndoActivator; LAI: Laser-activated irrigation
