The Bactericidal Effect of Nd:YAG, Ho:YAG, and Er:YAG Laser Irradiation in the Root Canal: Anin VitroComparison

Abstract: Our findings indicate that all three lasers act as strongly effective microbicides without causing unfavorable temperature rises at the settings used. They can thus be considered a valuable tool for root canal treatment.

“…[41][42][43][44][45] According to the results of the study by Moritz et al on the antibacterial effects of some lasers such as Er:YAG, Nd:YAG and Ho:YAG, it can be concluded that Er:YAG laser is more effective than the others. 21,35 These results are also seen in the study by Schoop et al that show Er:YAG laser in comparison with Nd:YAG, diode and Er:Cr:YSGG in power of 1 W, has been the best at limiting the growth of E. faecalis in permanent teeth. 12 On the contrary, the results of the study by Kuvvetli et al on molar primary teeth show that antibacterial effects of Doide laser have been better than those of Er:YAG laser.…”

“…It is noteworthy that the results of applying diode and Nd:YAG laser were similar to the results of using NaOCl. 21,35 Different studies showed conflicting results when comparing chemical cleaning methods with laser. For instance, the results of the study by Kuştarci showed that NaOCL 5.25% had better effect than KTP laser.…”

“…*, Significant difference as compared with 1-week bacterial incubation (P,0.001); #, significant difference as compared with 2-week bacterial incubation (P,0.001); g, significant difference as compared with 3-week bacterial incubation (P,0.001). Er:YAG laser application in root canal disinfection 99 % in a number of inoculated root canals (Klinke et al, 1997;Moritz et al, 1999). However, it was also reported that Nd:YAG irradiation is not as effective against non-pigmented bacteria or bacterial biofilms because its irradiation is absorbed well only by melanin and dark pigmented tissues (Hellingwerf et al, 1996).…”

“…Lasers have been used clinically in dental practice for various purposes, including tooth cutting, washing in root canals, scaling, and pain relief in soft tissues 14,15) ; and many studies have reported the bactericidal effects of lasers. 2,[4][5][6][8][9][10]13,18) However, lasers have different properties depending on wavelength; for example, the Nd:YAG laser has high tissue permeability and is able to affect deep tissue, whereas the Er:YAG laser has good absorption properties in water and acts on the surface of tissues.…”
