Periapical endodontic surgery (apical osteotomy, apicoectomy, apicectomy, root resection), aims at the treatment of apical periodontitis, after exhaustion of the possibilities of orthograde endodontics.Surgery is an essential part of endodontics and helps us retain natural teeth as long as possible. Not all periapical lesions are of true endodontic origin and can be treated nonsurgically.With the development of new instruments and techniques, the indications for performing the procedure have changed. Clinicians should know all peculiarities when faced with patients with a different medical history or anatomical variations. They should be prepared to cope with intra/post operative pain and complications.In this review are presented epidemiology, ways of treatment of periapical lesions, advantages and disadvantages, indications and contraindications of performing this procedure, peculiarities with different patients, as well as methods of conducting it, based on the current literature

“…Laser light is a form of an electromagnetic energy [8] which is formed by stimulating the medium from an external energy source that leads to the emission of the photons. Also, it can be described as a man-made single photon wavelength [9]. Laser has 3 basic components ( Figure 1): a) Active/ Laser medium: can be solid, liquid, gas or a crystal.…”

With dentistry in this high tech and changing era, we are fortunate to have many technological innovations to enhance and ameliorate the various treatment modalities. The archetypal of the term high tech is LASER which is an acronym and stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Its introduction to the prosthodontics and dental implantology has replaced many conventional surgical and technical procedures once thought only possible with the conventional dental drill or scalpel. This review article aims at describing the types, the expanding application and indications of the dental lasers in the field of dental implantology which provide the patient with the rigorous treatment that may minimize pain and recovery time.

“…In this scenario, the application of laser in endodontics for apicoectomy also stands out, including the effect on apical sealing, effect on dentin permeability, effect on postoperative pain, effect on fissure formation, effect on root morphology, effect on treatment outcome, and connective tissue response to laser-treated dentin [1,5].…”

Introduction: In the setting of endodontic treatment, postoperative pain continues to be a problem in up to 58% of patients. This is due to the release of inflammatory mediators whenever the pulp or periradicular tissues are injured during root canal treatment or retreatment. The application of lasers in endodontics has increased due to their safety and effectiveness in dental treatments. Objective: It was to develop a systematic review to present the main clinical outcomes of the use of laser therapy in endodontic treatments. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The search was carried out from December 2023 to January 2024 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 98 articles were found, 35 articles were evaluated in full and 20 were included and developed in the present systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 21 studies with a high risk of bias and 26 studies that did not meet GRADE and AMSTAR-2. Most studies did not show homogeneity in their results, with X2=72.7% <50%. It was concluded that low-level laser therapy has been used in endodontics to promote analgesia, modulation of inflammation, and tissue healing. Analgesia mediated by low-level laser therapy results in vasodilation, and increased levels of adenosine triphosphate and cortisol, inhibiting the production of inflammatory factors. Recent studies reported that the use of low-level lasers enabled the treatment of post-endodontic pain compared to control. Furthermore, studies have shown that laser therapy can increase collagen synthesis and, concerning bone, modulate inflammation, accelerate cell proliferation, as well as stimulate bone stem cells, and accelerate their repair process.
