Summary of the presentation
The search for new devices and technologies to assist endodontic procedures has always been challenging.
In fact, almost all current dental laser wavelengths have been studied for a wide range of endodontic applications.
With the development of thinner, more flexible and specially designed laser fibres, laser assisted endodontic treatments are now evidence based and, if deemed appropriate, complementary to all other treatment measures.
This presentation summarizes current and emerging applications for lasers for clinical endodontic practice.
