Abstract
It’s been more than sixty years since the invention of the first Laser device, and Dentistry opted to adopt it, for clinical use. Endodontology, was not an exeption, with the first in vitro trial taking place in 1971. Since then, many in vitro and less in vivo trials have been attempted, with various results. This was due, mainly to the poor knowledge of the Physics of this energy. In this Webinar, the various applications of the Laser Irradiation in the current Endodontic practice will be thoroughly analyzed.
