Nevertheless, some species of bacteria can cope with root canal irrigants, survive in the dentinal tubules for years and cause persistent periradicular lesions. In the last decade, diode lasers received wide acceptance in laser-supported endodontics because of their impactful and deep-reaching disinfection ability. This case report presents the fast healing of a periapical lesion as a result of performing intra-canal laser disinfection in conjunction with conventional root canal treatment procedures.}, number={2}, publisher={Istanbul Aydin University}
