ROOT CANAL DISINFECTION IN PERMANENT TOOTH USING LASER DURING ROOT CANAL PROCEDURE/ENDODONTIC TREATM
Introduction- The main goal of endodontic treatment is the effective cleaning of the root-canal system and preventing the reinfection. Traditional endodontic techniques use mechanical instruments and chemical irrigation to shape, clean and completely decontaminate the endodontic system. The complexity of the root-canal system is very well known with added fact that most of the NiTi (Nickel-Titanium) instruments work on the center body of canal leaving behind fins, isthmus, cul-de-sacs all untouched. These left out spaces harbour tissue debris, bacteria and their by-products and this insufficient root canal disinfection is the main reason for endodontic failure. LASER helps to achieve this impossible task of disinfection of root canal system as a whole including the lateral and accessory canals. As back dated, Laser technology was introduced to endodontics with the goal of improving the results obtained with traditional procedures through the use of light ener...
