Standardized preparation and sterilization procedures were performed. The samples were irradiated with Er:YAG, Nd:YAG, and KTP laser systems. The laser irradiations (1.5 Watt) were applied with a spiral motion, starting 1 mm short of the apex and then moving coronally for 10 sec, interleaved with 15-sec recovery intervals for each irradiation. This process was repeated twelve times. The roots that were standardized in the same length and thicknesses were divided parallel to the longitudinal axis. Then, the middle and apical 1/3 surface roughness values of each root section were measured using a profilometer and SEM analysis was performed.

Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on dental students in their 4th/5th years of the University of Concepción, Chile. The sample size was estimated at 170 students. The following variables were considered: sociodemographic (sex, age, with whom the student lives and commune of origin), educational (course, course failure, number of years behind and their cause, number of career options, funding, and secondary school type), and Burnout-MBI-SS (Maslach's Burnout Inventory for students). To evaluate the association between the variables, descriptive statistics for quantitative were made using mean and standard deviation for normal distribution variables, and median and interquartile range for non-normal distribution variables; for categorical variables, frequency, and percentage distribution was calculated. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to assess normality, as non-normal distribution was verified for MBI-SS, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis was used to estimate statistical differences amongst categorical variables, and Spearman for correlations (p < 0.05).
