OBJECTIVE The effects of Er:YAG laser irradiation on the periodontal region during root canal preparation were evaluated using rats histopathologically. BACKGROUND The effects on periodontal tissues along the root surface and apical area during root canal preparation using Er:YAG laser irradiation in vivo are not clear. METHODS One hundred mesial root canals of mandibular first molars in rats were divided into four groups. In three of these groups, root canals were irradiated using an Er:YAG laser at 2 Hz and 34, 68, and 102 mJ/pulse for 30 sec. Non-irradiated canals served as controls. The effects of laser irradiation on the periodontal tissues along the root surface and apical area were evaluated at 0, 2 days, 1, 2, and 4 weeks after irradiation under light microscopy. RESULTS At 4 weeks after treatment, no inflammation or resorption was observed in any cases in the control or 34 mJ/pulse-irradiated groups. However, moderate to severe inflammation with resorption of root surface was observed in four of five cases (80%) in the 102 mJ/pulse-irradiated group, which was significantly different from the control (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the effects on periodontal tissues during root canal preparation by Er:YAG laser irradiation after pulpectomy are minimal, if appropriate parameters are selected, and this is a potential therapy for human root canals of teeth.

D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
