“…Four different aspects were mainly of scientific interest in former microscopy studies on laser effects on root canal walls [15,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55]: the ability of the laser to remove or modify the smear layer, to seal dentinal tubules, and to destroy bacteria. Moreover, potential dentine surface alterations have been investigated.…”

Lasers in endodontics: a review

2000

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Since the development of the ruby laser by Maiman in 1960 and the application of the laser for endodontics by Weichman in 1971, a variety of papers on potential applications for lasers in endodontics have been published. The purpose of this paper is to summarize laser applications in endodontics, including their use in pulp diagnosis, dentinal hypersensitivity, pulp capping and pulpotomy, sterilization of root canals, root canal shaping and obturation and apicectomy. The effects of laser on root canal walls and periodontal tissues are also reviewed. The essential question is whether a laser can provide equal or improved treatment over conventional care. Secondary issues include treatment duration and cost/benefit ratio. This article reviews the role of lasers in endodontics since the early 1970s, summarizes many research reports from the last decade, and surmises what the future may hold for lasers in endodontics. With the potential availability of many new laser wavelengths and modes, much interest is developing in this promising field.
