![]() ![]() Following this, it was discovered that Erbium Lasers, because of their high absorption in water, could create shockwaves through the near-instant vaporization of the irrigants and that these vapor bubbles would propagate throughout the canal system in three dimensions. However, the outcomes were disappointing and created unwanted side effects. Some of the various techniques used in the past included using high powered laser energy to heat up the irrigating solution or using laser energy with exogenous chromophores (solutions) as photodynamic therapy to enhance the disinfection process. In endodontics, laser energy has been used in the past in an attempt to aid in the disinfection and/or irrigation of root canal systems with less than desirable results. ![]() ![]() Thorough disinfection has always been problematic in all areas of healthcare, especially in the oral environment. ![]()
