Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate the penetration depth of two different dyes after root canal preparation using PIPS and SWEEPS methods. Materials and methods: A total of 60 single-rooted human teeth which were extracted for periodontal reasons were collected and stored in the sterile saline until using in the study. The crowns of the teeth were cut such that the remaining piece was 12 mm long. The root canals were prepared. Teeth were divided randomly into two initial groups (n = 30): indocyanine green solution (ICG) and methylene blue solution. Then, these teeth were divided into final subgroups (n = 10): Er:YAG laser irradiation with PIPS(photon-induced photoacoustic streaming) technique, Er:YAG laser irradiation with SWEEPS(shock-wave enhanced emission photoacoustic streaming) technique, and no irradiation. The penetration depth measurements were done by the stereo microscope in three zones of each specimen. Results: The difference between ICG in the control group and PIPS and SWEEPS in the coronal area was not significant. In the middle section the difference between PIPS and the control group was marginally insignificant (P = 0.053). In the methylene blue group, PIPS had significantly higher penetration depth in the apical area compared to the control group (P = 0.004). In the middle section, both PIPS and SWEEPS showed significantly higher penetration than the control group. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the laser has the potential to increase the penetration of methylene blue. Root canal preparation with the PIPS technique can increase the dye penetration. However, the SWEEPS technique and the conventional method have a similar outcome in terms of dye penetration. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
