A comparative study of the removal of smear layer by three endodontic irrigants and two types of laser

Abstract: Irrigation with 17% EDTA, 6% phosphoric acid and 6% citric acid did not remove all the smear layer from the root-canal system. In addition, these acidic solutions demineralized the interbular dentine around tabular openings, which became enlarged. The CO2 laser was useful in removing and melting the smear layer on the instrumented root-canal walls and the Er:YAG laser was the most effective in removing the smear layer from the root-canal wall.

“…4,5 After laser etching, physical changes such as melting and recrystallization occur in the enamel. Numerous pores and bubblelike inclusions appear, similar to those in the type III etching pattern produced by orthophosphoric acid, described by Silverstone et al 2 Therefore, laser irradiation may be a feasible method to etch enamel surfaces.…”

“…Também foram unânimes os achados quanto ao pH das soluções: quanto mais ácido o pH (pH original) maior a capacidade das soluções em remover smear layer e desobstruir túbulos dentinários 74,75 . No entanto, um estudo recentemente publicado 23 contradiz a literatura ao afirmar que, a mistura de EDTA tetrasódico alcalino (EDTANa 4 ) associado ao NaOCL promove maior remoção de smear layer, desde que a mistura de ambas as soluções seja realizada imediatadamente antes do uso, para evitar a redução de íons cloro livre disponíveis.…”

“…It should be considered that the proper amount of energy for elimination of different species of bacteria may be different, for example according to the results of the study by Noiri et al on the effects of Er:YAG laser, the amount of energy that is adequate for complete elimination of gram negative species, can only decrease the growth of gram positive species. 26 Therefore, despite the fact that 100 mJ energy is not adequate for complete elimination of E. faecalis from the root canal, it is possible that regarding the multi-bacterium nature of pulp disease, 7,55 this laser with the investigated parameters is suitable for disinfection of root canal from other bacteria. In addition to mechanical methods and new tools such as laser, chemical materials such as NaOCl are used for disinfecting the canal.…”
