Abstract
This article describes the development of a surgical technique employing a carbon dioxide laser for endodontic periapical procedures. The advantages of laser application for sterilization and removal of the infected root apex, as well as enhanced hemostasis, are cited. A case in which the "laser apicoectomy" technique was performed successfully for treatment of secondary apical abscess is presented.Entities:
