The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Er:Cr:YSGG 2780nm laser in comparison with Xp-endo Finisher in elimination of smear layer in terms of root canal dentin permeability and SEM analysis. Method: twenty-eight single-rooted extracted lower premolars were instrumented up to size X4 (protaper Next, Dentsaply) and divided into two groups according to the irrigation system, first group activated by Xp-endo Finisher and second one by Er:Cr:YSGG laser 2780 nm, pulsed mode, 1.25 W. Afterward, the roots were made externally impermeable, filled with 2%methylene blue dye, divided horizontally into three segments representing the apical, middle, and coronal thirds then examined under stereomicroscope. Using analytical software, the root section area and dye penetration area were measur... view moreĀ»
