Push-out bond strength of calcium-silicate cements following Er:YAG and diode laser irradiation of root dentin

Efficacy of Photoinduced Photoacoustic Streaming and Diode Laser Irrigation Techniques on Smear Layer Removal, Sealer Penetration and Push-out Bond Strength

“…All were produced because of the cavitation creation Push out bond stength in Mpa Push-out bond strength which was done by the PIPS technique. 12,13 In agreement with the outcomes of the present study, Ekim and Erdemir 26 evaluated the effect of distinctive irrigant activation protocols by utilizing a laser and stated the positive efficiency of the laser for irrigant activation. 26 Regarding the results of the smear layer, the present study was in accordance with the results reported by previous studies; for example, Jhingan et al, demonstrated superior elimination of both dentinal debris and the smear layer from the surfaces of the canal after treatment with a diode laser, which increased the success rate of the root canal treatment and reduced the chances for reinfection of the root canal.…”

“…980-nm diode laser groups showed increased push-out bond quality which can be attributed to smear layer elimination and debris from the dentin surface. 12 Utilizing both the diode laser and PIPS by Er:YAG were highly efficient in obtaining great bond quality. A previous investigation done by Moura-Netto et al agreed with this finding which stated that diode laser irradiation improved the penetration of the endodontic sealer into dentinal tubules.…”

“…A stainless-steel support was utilized to hold each specimen in place to guarantee stability and proper placement according to the previous study. 12 The filling material was loaded with a stainless-steel plunger, utilizing a universal testing machine (Instron, Norwood, Massachusetts, USA). The tip of the plunger was measured and positioned only touching the filling material.…”

“…The force that dislodged the filling material was at that point recorded in Newtons (N). 12 The area under the load was calculated by using the following equation:…”

“…Photoninduced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) is used as a novel irrigant activation method which utilizes an Er: YAG laser. [12][13][14][15] PIPS activation method for irrigation may be beneficial in obtaining sufficient root canal cleaning with superior adhesion between resin sealer and root canal dentin in endodontic treatment. This suggests that irrigant activation and streaming creation positively affect the bond strength of resin-based sealer.…”
