Laser Assisted Root Canal Treatment
Laser Dentistry: Laser-Assisted Root Canal Treatment
Many factors that cause poor oral and dental health can cause infections in the vascular and nerve bundles of the teeth. The developing infection can cause irreversible damage to the vascular and nerve bundle as well as allow bacteria to attach to the tissues inside the tooth. In this case, root canal treatment procedures can be planned to keep the relevant teeth in the mouth without harmful effects on the surrounding tissues. The success of root canal treatments may vary according to many different factors independent of the treatment, such as the anatomical structure of the teeth, the patency of the root canals, and the types of bacteria involved in the developing infection. However, ideal disinfection of the canals in the right areas of the treatment procedure can significantly increase the chances of success of the treatment. Many methods can be applied to disinfect root canals. Laser-assisted root canal disinfection, one of these methods, is one of the prominent procedures with its various advantages.

What is Laser Assisted Root Canal Disinfection?
Laser-assisted root canal disinfection is the process of applying a special laser to the area to eliminate bacteria in root canals with nerve tissue removed. In various laser procedures, the energy and wavelength characteristics of the laser can be effective in the destruction of microorganisms. In addition, thanks to its tissue-selective properties, the procedure can be performed without affecting the tissues that need to be protected. Many studies have shown that laser-assisted procedures for disinfecting root canals used in root canal treatment significantly reduce the number of bacteria. This procedure, which is highly effective in disinfection procedures, is often preferred in the treatment process, especially in the case of chronic abscess development or persistent infections in the roots of the teeth.

It can contribute to increasing the chance of success in root canal treatments. Since this will reduce the possibility of tooth loss, it can be effective in preventing functional and aesthetic losses that may be caused by tooth loss. As it is a practical procedure method, it can contribute to reducing the treatment time. As a result, the patient is saved from an irreversible procedure such as tooth extraction.
How is Laser-Assisted Root Canal Treatment Performed?
The first procedure following the local anaesthesia required for laser root canal treatment is the removal of decayed and unsupported tissues. The tooth is then organised in such a way that the root canals can be accessed. Following the opening of the root canals, the area undergoes physical cleaning. Various disinfection techniques should be used to support the procedure in between the physical cleaning procedures. At this stage, the laser beam is delivered to the roots of the teeth with special tips when necessary.
When the arrangement and disinfection of the area are completed, if a single-session treatment is to be applied, the root canals are filled, and then the restoration to be applied to the tooth is planned. In cases where a multisession treatment is needed, a special medication is placed inside the canals. Then a temporary filling is applied on the tooth, and the next treatment session is planned. In a multi-session root canal treatment, the treatment sessions persist until the infection symptoms disappear. The canal filling stage begins once the ideal conditions have been established.
What happens after treatment?
In the period following the treatment, there is no loss of comfort that would prevent daily routines. It is normal to observe some sensitivity in the first few days after the procedure. This sensitivity is due to the healing process of the tissues.
Generally, laser-assisted root canal disinfection treatments result in less sensitivity compared to traditional methods. This problem decreases and disappears within a few days in parallel with the healing process.
