Evaluation of Force Required To Remove Cemented Prefabricated Post Using Nd:YAG Laser

Abstract

Endodontic post removal is related to the cement used, inter-radicular relation of the post to canal walls, and accessibility. Lasers have been shown to facilitate removal of ceramic orthodontic brackets, ceramic crowns, and veneers, but never posts. To determine if Nd:YAG laser decreases the force required to remove prefabricated stainless steel posts cemented into instrumented single rooted teeth using a resin cement.
