With the rapid development of laser technology, new lasers with a wide range of characteristics are now available and being used in various fields of dentistry. Clinical studies clearly show advantages of laser treatments over currently-used conventional methods and techniques. The most important advantages are improved disinfection efficacy, more effective root canal cleaning, reduction of permeability, reduction of micro-leakage, and elimination of the need to use toxic solvents. The main aim of this review article is to give an update on lasers in endodontics.
