RESUMO
The laser therapy is an excellent adjunct clinical procedure in endodontic treatment in order to improve the cleaning and disinfection of the root canal system; however few studies in the literature investigated the possible use of this new technology in the clinical situations of retreatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate in vitro the use of the diode laser (810nm, continuous mode) in the removal of gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer from the root canal, with or without the use of a chemical solvent (eucalyptol). Root canal filling materials were irradiated by 810 nm diode laser (ZAP SOFTLASE, ZAP LASERS). The temperature changes at the outer root surface were verified in the apical third of 12 samples during the irradiation. Temperature increase from 2.47 to 9.35 ºC was observed. The specimens were randomly divided in 4 groups of 10 roots each, varying the parameter of laser irradiation and the use of eucalyptol. The groups were assigned as follow: Group I = irradiation (1.0 W) without the solvent use, Group II = irradiation (1.5 W) without the solvent use, Group III = irradiation (1.0 W) + solvent, Group IV = (1.5 W) + solvent. Mesio-distal and buccolingual radiographs were taken before and after retreatment and the area of remaining gutta-percha in the root canals was determined with the aid of: Adobe Photoshop and ImageLab softwares. The groups: G1xG3; G1xG4; G2xG4 presented statistical differences.Based on the methodology used, it was verified that the temperature did not exceed 10ºC and that the presence of the solvent made it possible to remove large amounts of root canal filing material, aiding the desobturation process when used in association to the diode laser.
