Histological examination of experimentally infected root canals after preparation by Er:YAG laser irradiation.

abstract：:Bacterial biofilms are often found in chronically infected wounds. Biofilms protect bacteria from antibiotics and impair wound healing. Surgical debridement is often needed to remove the biofilm from an infected wound. Laser-generated shockwave (LGS) treatment is a novel tissue-sparing treatment for biofilm disruption...
