Summary:The major current treatment of the apical periodontitis had been cleaning of the root canal with chemicals and specialized equipment. Recently, electro-magnetic apical treatment called EMAT have been proposed. However, optimal conditions and sterilization mechanisms in treatment have not been clarified sufficiently. In this study, a device(Trench-type) was produced to apply a uniform current to the target bacterial suspensions for fundamental experiments. The simulation results confirmed that a device had a uniform current density. In addition, it was observed significant electro-sterilization effects in the experimental results. In the future, it is necessary to carry out comparative experiments between heat sterilization and electro-sterilization under precise temperature control.
