Aim: To visualize by Atomic Force Microscopy the alterations induced on
Enterococcus. faecalis
surface after
treatment with 2 types of laser: Erbium chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser and
Diode laser.
Material and Methods: Bacterial suspensions from overnight cultures of
E. faecalis
were irradiated during 30 seconds with the laser-lights at 1 W and 2 W of power, leaving one untreated sample as control. Surface alterations on
treated
E. faecalis
were visualized by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and its surface roughness determined.
Results: AFM imaging showed that at high potency of laser both cell morphology and surface roughness resulted
altered, and that several cell lysis signs were easily visualized. Surface roughness clearly increase after the treatment with Er,Cr:YSGG at 2W of power, while the other treatments gave similar values of surface roughness. The
effect of lasers on bacterial surfaces visualized by AFM revealed drastic alterations.
Conclusions: AFM is a good tool to evaluate surface injuries after laser treatment; and could constitute a measure
of antimicrobial effect that can complete data obtained by determination of microbial viability.
