Five maxillary canines were split labiolingually and the canal concavities were debrided. At a series of evenly spaced locations along the canal wall, the concavity was flattened by an inverted cone bur to form small circular areas to be utilized as target locations. The specimens were stored in a thymolwater solution and subsequently rinsed in a 5.25% NaOCl solution for 1 min before lasing. The specimens were dried and lased from 10 to 90 W and 0.1 to 0.9 with a neodymium-yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser. Scanning electron microscopic analysis showed the effects of lasing to vary from no effects to disruption of the smeared layer to actual melting and recrystallization of the dentin, depending on such factors as power level, duration of exposure, and color of the dentin. The recrystallized canal wall dentin appeared to be nonporous and continuous in nature and could conceivably demonstrate reduced permeability to fluids.
