BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser on radicular dentine permeability when using distilled and deionized water and 1% NaClO as irrigating solutions. STUDY DESIGN/ MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty human maxillary canines were divided randomly into six groups. The root canals were instrumented with K files and the step-back technique. Group I, irrigation with distilled and deionized water; Group II, irrigation with 1% NaClO; Group III, irrigation with distilled and deionized water and Er:YAG laser application (140 mJ input, 61 mJ output 15 Hz, 300 pulses, and 42 J); Group IV, irrigation with 1% NaClO and Er:YAG laser application (same parameters as Group III); Group V, irrigation with distilled and deionized water and Nd:YAG laser application (150 mJ, 15 Hz, 2,25 W); Group VI, irrigation with 1% NaClO and Nd:YAG laser application (same parameters as Group V). During laser application the teeth were always filled with the irrigating solution. The tip was withdrawn gently in helicoidal movement from the apex to the cervical portion. The teeth were processed for histochemical evaluation. RESULTS: The Tukey test showed that the cervical and middle thirds were statistically similar (P > 0.05) and significantly greater than the apical third (P < 0.05). The Scheffé test showed significantly greater dentine permeability in root canals in which water and Er:YAG laser were used and were significantly different from the other treatments (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The use of distilled and deionized water and Er:YAG laser showed the greater increase of dentine permeability. The use of 1% NaClO with Nd:YAG laser, distilled, and deionized water with Nd:YAG laser and the use of water increased dentine permeability less than the other groups. The use of 1% NaClO with and without Er:YAG laser application were positioned intermediately among the treatments. Copyright 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
