Thermographical and Morphological Studies of Er,Cr:YSGG Laser Irradiation on Root Canal Walls

Abstract

The results of this study suggested that the temperature rises during Er, Cr:YSGG laser irradiation at the parameters used in this study are minimal to cause the damage on periodontal and bone tissues. Moreover, it was suggested that it is efficient to remove smear layer and debris without causing any carbonization and melting.
