Smear layer removal is a critical process in endodontic and restorative dentistry, aimed at eliminating the debris and organic material generated during instrumentation of the root canal or tooth surface. Effective removal enhances the adhesion of restorative materials and improves the success of root canal treatments by preventing bacterial invasion and reinfection.
