Abstract

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of Er:YAG and diode laser treatments of the root surface on intrapulpal temperature after scaling and root planing with hand instruments. METHODS: Fifteen extracted single-rooted teeth were scaled and root planed with hand instrumen...
