Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment,
is a dental procedure used to treat a severely decayed or infected tooth.
During this procedure, the dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp from
the tooth and then fills and seals the space to prevent further damage.
Traditionally, this procedure has been performed using a combination of manual
tools and chemicals. However, with advancements in technology, there has been
an increasing interest in using lasers for root canal treatment.
So, is root canal treatment possible with lasers? The short answer is yes,but let's take a closer look at how it works and the advantages of using lasers for this procedure.
How Does Laser Root Canal Treatment
Work?
The dentist uses a high-intensity laser to remove the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth during laser root canal treatment. The dentist can then clean and sterilize the inside of the tooth using the laser, which can also help to kill bacteria and reduce the risk of infection.
Once the inside of the tooth is clean and sterilized, the dentist will
fill the space with a biocompatible material, typically gutta-percha, and seal
it to prevent further damage. The procedure is typically completed in one visit,
although some cases may require more than one visit.
Advantages of Laser Root Canal
Treatment
Minimal Pain: One of the most significant advantages of laser root
canal treatment is that it is generally less painful than traditional root
canal treatment. The laser is less invasive and can target the affected area
more precisely, which means there is less damage to surrounding tissue and less
discomfort for the patient.
Faster Healing: Laser root canal treatment also typically leads to
faster healing times than traditional root canal treatment. Because there is
less damage to surrounding tissue, the body can heal more quickly, and patients
can typically resume normal activities soon after the procedure.
Reduced Risk of Infection: The laser used during root canal
treatment can help to kill bacteria and sterilize the affected area, which can
reduce the risk of infection and improve the overall success rate of the
procedure.
Laser root canal treatment is a promising new approach to
treating infected or damaged teeth.
