ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Root canal treatment involves removing damaged and infected nerves and tissues from inside the tooth. A small opening is drilled into the tooth to remove the nerve, blood supply, and pulp, followed by thorough cleaning, shaping, sterilization, and filling of the canal space. This procedure allows you to save a damaged tooth; otherwise, it would need to be extracted.
Laser RCT
The term LASER is an acronym for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.” A laser works by emitting intense, focused light energy that interacts with biological tissues.
Laser-assisted root canal therapy is more efficient, effective, and comfortable compared to traditional methods. Laser root canal disinfection is more promising than conventional root canal preparation, as it can effectively remove inflamed or infected pulp, as well as clean and shape the dentinal walls.
Advantages of Laser in RCT Treatments:
- It ensures the complete eradication of infected bacteria with high precision.
- It helps preserve more of the healthy tooth structure.
- It results in less bleeding and swelling.
- It can reduce the need for local anesthesia.
