In caries diagnosis, artifacts were the major cause of fallout for CBCT.Clinical relevanceIntraoral radiography is the first-hand choice for diagnosing dental disease. For some rare cases where intraoral imaging is not possible, a dedicated panoramic image and/or CBCT examination is an alternative. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

The efficacy of 2780 nm Er,Cr;YSGG and 940 nm Diode Laser in root canal disinfection: A randomized clinical trial
ConclusionsIn
this study we evaluated in vivo the bactericidal efficacy of three
disinfection protocols for endodontic treatment of single-rooted teeth
with apical periodontitis. The results indicated that both dual laser
Er,CrYSGG/Diode and combined laser EDTA/Diode groups provide superior
bactericidal effect compared to the conventional NaOCl/EDTA group.Clinical relevanceThe
integration of lasers into root canal disinfection protocols has
demonstrated significant bacterial reduction which might promote healing
and long-term success. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)
