CO(2), Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers have been used in endodontic surgery. This in vitro study evaluated 1% Rhodamine B dye penetration using computer-assisted morphometry (ImageTool Software) of 108 endodontically treated human permanent canines.
Teeth were divided into 9 groups according to the technique used: A: 90-degree apicoectomy with bur, root-end cavity preparation with ultrasound and filled with MTA; B: 90-degree apicoectomy with bur, root-end cavity prepared with ultrasound and filled with MTA, and treatment of apical surface with CO(2) laser (1 W, CW/CW); C: 90-degree apicoectomy with bur, and treatment of apical surface with Nd:YAG laser (150 mJ, 10 Hz); D: 90-degree apicoectomy with bur, and treatment of apical surface with CO(2) laser,(1 W, CW/CW); E: apicoectomy with Er:YAG laser (400 mJ, 10 Hz), root-end cavity prepared with ultrasound and filled with MTA; F: apicoectomy with Er:YAG laser (400 mJ, 10 Hz) and treatment of apical surface with Nd:YAG laser (150 mJ, 10Hz); G: apicoectomy with CO(2) laser (5W, CW/SP), root-end cavity prepared with ultrasound and filled with MTA; H: irradiation of apical end with CO(2) laser (1 W, CW/CW); I: irradiation of apical end with Nd:YAG laser (150 mJ, 10 Hz).
Dye penetration was found in all specimens at different rates, the lowest penetration occurring in groups C (16.20%), B (17.24%) and F (17.84%).
Groups B, C and F represent the best technical sequences to perform endodontic surgery.
CO(2)、Er:YAG 和 Nd:YAG 激光已应用于牙髓内外科手术。本体外研究通过计算机辅助形态计量学(ImageTool 软件)评估了 108 例牙髓治疗后的人恒磨牙使用 1%罗丹明 B 染料的渗透情况。
根据使用的技术将牙齿分为 9 组:A:用球钻行 90 度根尖切除术,用超声根管预备并填充 MTA;B:用球钻行 90 度根尖切除术,用超声根管预备并用 MTA 填充,并用 CO(2)激光(1 W,连续波/连续波)处理根尖表面;C:用球钻行 90 度根尖切除术,并用 Nd:YAG 激光(150 mJ,10 Hz)处理根尖表面;D:用球钻行 90 度根尖切除术,并用 CO(2)激光(1 W,连续波/连续波)处理根尖表面;E:用 Er:YAG 激光(400 mJ,10 Hz)行根尖切除术,用超声根管预备并用 MTA 填充;F:用 Er:YAG 激光(400 mJ,10 Hz)行根尖切除术,并用 Nd:YAG 激光(150 mJ,10 Hz)处理根尖表面;G:用 CO(2)激光(5W,连续波/脉冲波)行根尖切除术,用超声根管预备并用 MTA 填充;H:用 CO(2)激光(1 W,连续波/连续波)照射根尖末端;I:用 Nd:YAG 激光(150 mJ,10 Hz)照射根尖末端。
所有标本均以不同速率出现染料渗透,最低渗透见于 C 组(16.20%)、B 组(17.24%)和 F 组(17.84%)。
B、C 和 F 组代表牙髓内外科手术的最佳技术序列。
