Effect of Er: YAG laser, phthalocyanine activated photodynamic therapy, and bioactive glass nanoparticles on smear layer removal and push out bond strength of quartz fiber posts to canal dentin: a SEM assessment
Er: YAG + EDTA used as a post-space disinfectant showed significantly better results in terms of SL removal and PBS across all three sections compared to the other groups. Er: YAG + EDTA could potentially serve as an alternative to 2.5% NaOCl + EDTA.
