Root canal treatment by laser

During a traditional root canal procedure , your dentist or endodontist ( root canal specialist) will use local anesthesia to numb the tooth. Laser Assisted Root Canal Therapy. Twinlight Endodontic therapy becomes an ideal solution for people who have concerns about the health impacts of conventional root canal therapy yet do not want to have an extraction of their abscessed tooth. Even after cleaning and shaping the canals thoroughly some bacteria can be present in the pours of the canal wall but when laser beam is fired in to the canal , this completely kills the remaining bacteria and makes the canal sterile, which is very important for the success of any root canal treatment.

ALET is an innovative approach to root canal therapy , now made possible through advances in technology and a bio-friendly new protocol.

Gone are the days of painful dental visits – today’s dentists are using lasers for root canal treatment. As any dentist understands, performing dental procedures are necessary to the health, well-being, and comfort of patients, but sometimes those procedures can be unpleasant and even painful. Now a laser root canal treatment is done in one or two visits only if there is a follow up required. We can call it Painless Root Canal Treatment. In this procedure, dentists use a laser beam instead of the traditional drill to open tooth surface.

After access to the canal , the laser beam is used to clean and disinfect the root canal before filling with gutta percha. The laser beam can help modify the dentinal walls of the canals.

It reduces the risk of re-infection. It is a minimally invasive technique which conserves the tooth structure. Materials that repair and heal the nerve tissue can then be injected into the root chamber, after which the outside of the tooth can be repaired with biocompatible inlays or onlays. This is also called endodontics.

Unlike conventional methods, Endolase protects and preserves tooth structure. That means you can have a complete root canal treatment without totally disrupting your day. More than 10endodontic procedures are performed in the USA every year (American Association of Endo­dontists). The accepted objectives of root canal therapy are: Cleaning and shaping of the root canal space, disinfection of the canal space and three dimensional obturation of the root canal system. Root canal treatment (also known as endodontic therapy, endodontic treatment , or root canal therapy) is a treatment sequence for the infected pulp of a tooth which in the elimination of infection and the protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion.

Basically, a laser is an instrument that produces an intense beam of light. Lasers plays an effective role for all dental treatment. During laser Assisted Root Canal Treatment ,a laser drill is produced to access into the pulp chamber of the tooth.

Through this laser drill the removal of damaged tooth is easy and causes less infection after done. A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performe well over million every year. At the center of your tooth is pulp.

Pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. It also assists in the preparation of precise and pristine treatment sites. Degeneration of the pulp starts once the infection spreads. Endodontic treatment is recommended immediately in the case of formation of abscess (painful collection of pus)at the end of the tooth root.

We use the laser to clean and sterilize the canal system as you can see in this incredible video. The canal is then filled to completely seal it. Furthermore various laser wavelengths, particularly of Diode and Nd:YAG lasers can be effective in reducing intra canal microbial count.

Maximum effect is obtained when laser light is used in canals in combination with sodium hypochlorite irrigating substance in appropriate concentration.
