        abstract = {Lasers are increasingly used in endodontics, providing better cleaning, disinfection, and surgical precision than traditional techniques. Methods such as laser-activated irrigation, photon-induced photoacoustic streaming, and shock wave enhanced emission photoacoustic streaming improve root canal debridement and biofilm removal. Low-level laser therapy and photobiomodulation therapy also contribute to pain reduction and tissue regeneration. With continued advancements in laser wavelengths and delivery systems, lasers are expected to further enhance success in endodontic treatment.},
