In the application of lasers to dentistry a deep understanding of the histological changes in the pulps in lased teeth is very important not only from the view point of safety but also from the possibility of discovering some epoch making therapeutic techniques. The authors designed an experiment to examine the histological changes of the dental pulps of rat teeth over 6 months following exposure to various kinds of lasers. As a result of this experiment, the authors discovered an interesting effect. Some kinds of lasers activate reactively the secondary dentin formation as to fill the whole pulp cavilty. The secondary dentin induction effect of lasers was similar to the bone regeneration effect of lasers in many aspects. The result of this experiment hopefully suggests that lasers may lead to an epoch making endodontic therapy "automatic biological root canal filling" by the self generation process induced by lasers.
