Introduction: LASER ( Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is an important evolving tool in dentistry which has its implication mainly in contamination control, caries removal, tissue removal, tissue decontamination, melanin depigmentation, teeth brightening, haemostasis and coagulation. In endodontics LASERS are mainly used to disinfect the root canals ,as the success of root canal treatment depends on the complete elimination of the endodontic microorganisms which is achieved by the physical methods to agitate the irrigation fluids to improve their penetration in areas which are not reached by the endodontic instruments.Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy is based on use of a chemical photosensitive dye,visible light and reactive oxygen.
