Purpose: This study was designed as randomized control trial to assess the effect of laser activation versus EndoVac systems with 5% apple vinegar irrigant on smear layer removal from root canal wall using scanning electron microscope. Material and Methods: Thirty three single rooted teeth were selected and prepared using Universal ProTaper rotary files and irrigated using sodium hypochlorite. Samples were randomly alienated into three groups (11 samples each) in proportion to method of activation of apple vinegar which used as final irrigant: Group I: Laser activated irrigation using810nm diode laser at 1.5 Watts power in pulsed mode, Group II: EndoVac …
