Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the efficacy of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser, and two other disinfecting agents against P. gingivalis and T. forsythia that colonized over zirconia ceramics and to evaluate if the disinfecting protocols result in zirconia surface alteration.

- The study evaluated how different disinfection protocols and sealers affect the bond strength of root canal filling materials in root dentin treated with laser therapies (PBT and PDT).
- Researchers used 120 root canals, applying various irrigation techniques and sealers, and measured bond strength through push-out tests, analyzing results with statistical methods.
- Findings concluded that 17% EDTA and Chlorhexidine improved bond strength when using AH Plus compared to MTA Fillapex, while no significant differences were found in the effectiveness of the laser treatments.
