Light in the canals: lasers

Laser was introduced in the field of dentistry in 1960 by Miaman, which have the capacity to interact with the biological tissues in our body through the light energy that they emit which is used in the field of dentistry. The use of laser in endodontics lasers in root canal treatment is to remove the dental pulp and any organic debris, and at the same time alter the dentinal walls by the melting and re-solidification cycle, which results in the widening of the walls of the tooth. However, the use of laser over the conventional methods has not shown its superiority and needs further research.
