Comparative analysis of laser and ultrasonic irrigation techniques for smear layer removal in endodontics

Er, Cr: YSGG laser activation with NaOCl + EDTA is the most effective protocol for smear layer removal. The powerful mechanical effects of Er, Cr: YSGG dominated when using saline. Diode laser activation also surpassed PUI.
