Initially, use the 600-μm endo laser tip with very little laser energy to desensitize the tooth and to condition the enamel for removal. |

Result:
ErCr:YSGG laser appears to be capable of root canal access, cleaning and shaping, endodontic surgery, and effective in the elimination of microorganisms.
