The aim of this study is to compare the effect of a single diode laser application and agitation of EDTA with diode laser with different parameters at different time intervals on root fracture. Ninety mandibular incisors were instrumented except the negative control group. The specimens were divided randomly into 10 groups according to final irrigation procedure: ( G 1) non‐instrumented; ( G 2) distilled water; ( G 3) 15% EDTA ; ( G 4) ultrasonically agitated EDTA ; ( G 5) single 1.5 W /100 Hz D iode laser; ( G 6) single 3 W /100 H z D iode laser; ( G 7) 1.5 W /100 H z D iode laser agitation of EDTA for 20 s; ( G 8) 1.5 W /100 H z D iode laser agitation of EDTA for 40 s; ( G 9) 3 W /100 H z D iode laser agitation of EDTA for 20 s; and ( G 10) 3 W /100 H z D iode laser agitation of EDTA for 40 s. The specimens were filled, mounted in acrylic resin, and compression strength test was performed on each specimen. Statistical analysis was carried out using one way A NOVA and T ukey's post hoc tests ( P = 0.05). The statistical analysis revealed that there were statistically significant differences among the groups ( P < 0.05). Laser‐agitated irrigation with a 3 W /100 H z D iode laser for both 20 s and 40 s decreased the fracture resistance of teeth.
