Abstract
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is considered the most effective solution for irrigating root canals due to its powerful disinfecting properties, including its ability to dissolve tissue, disrupt microorganisms, and eliminate bacterial biofilms in endodontic treatments. Typically, NaOCl is used at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 5.25% during procedures. The objective of this research was to evaluate the bactericidal effects of different concentrations of NaOCl on biofilms and their influence on
