Purpose: To describe the development, indications, and limitations of Er: YAG lasers in the
dental field. Methods: A review based on the literature search in PubMed and completed by …

The breakthrough for dental laser systems came in the mid 1990's. Among the various laser
types with corresponding wavelengths, diode laser systems quickly began establishing …

Laser irradiation has numerous favorable characteristics, such as ablation or vaporization,
hemostasis, biostimulation (photobiomodulation) and microbial inhibition and destruction …

Abstract Background and Objectives Limited information exists regarding the induction of
explosive vapor and cavitation bubbles in an endodontic rinsing solution. It is also not clear …

Aim To evaluate the antimicrobial effect of a diode laser irradiation, photo‐activated
disinfection (PAD), conventional and sonic activated irrigation with 2.5% sodium …

Limitations in endodontic disinfection are collectively due to the biofilm mode of bacteria in
root canal systems, anatomical complexities, dentin structure/composition, and limitations …

Aim To define the role of neodymium: yttrium–aluminum–garnet (Nd: YAG) lasers in root
canal disinfection along with a minimally invasive treatment concept. Methodology The …

Objective. In endodontics, Nd: YAG laser (1064 nm) and diode laser (810 nm and 980 nm)
devices are used to remove bacteria in infected teeth. A literature review was elaborated to …

Background The authors used an in vitro model to investigate the ability of an erbium,
chromium: yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er, Cr: YSGG) laser with radial emitting tips to …

Background Insufficient root canal disinfection is one of the main reasons for persistent
periapical pathology. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been proven effective in disinfecting …
