Abstract
Laser Update in Endodontics
Highlights
With laser technology, better results achieved by increasing cleaning ability of canal and removing smear layer and debris from infected canal [2]
CO2 laser can be implicated to Ablate and accessory treatment for vital pulp amputation [8,9]
When pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used at 15 Hz/1.5 W, smear layer can be eradicated completely with sealing of dentinal tubules [12]
Summary
Better results achieved by increasing cleaning ability of canal and removing smear layer and debris from infected canal [2]. Pulsed Nd: YAG, Argon, semiconductor diode, and Er:YAG can be used. CO2 laser can be implicated to Ablate and accessory treatment for vital pulp amputation [8,9]. In Root Canal Treatment, laser has been used widely from initial to last steps of root canal procedure [10]. Cr:YSGG (2780 nm) and Er:YAG (2940 nm) can be used for access cavity preparation, root canal shaping and cleaning.
