The role of laser technology in modern endodontics: a literature review

Primary endodontic treatment and retreatment involves a number of stages and materials which are all crucial for the final result. Irrigation and the reduction of the microbial count in the root canal system represent a critical phase of the treatment process, contributing significantly to the overall success of the procedure. It was found that conventional methods and irrigants do not show satisfactory results. For this reason, different lasers are entering endodontics to combine with traditionally accepted materials.
