  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...

  What is Operculectomy? Operculectomy is the procedure of surgically removing the operculum or the flap of gum that partially covers over a tooth. This procedure treats pericoronitis, a condition characterized by pain and inflammation of the operculum. Pericoronitis typically occurs among young adults, especially those whose wisdom tooth is starting to erupt. What happens if  Operculectomy  is not performed? 1. Causes inflammation in the soft tissues surrounding the crown of the partially erupted tooth clinically called pericoronitis. It typically occurs in teeth that erupt very slowly or become impacted. 2. Penetration of bacteria into the follicular space initiates infection which is potentiated by food debris trapped in proximity to the operculum and occlusal trauma of the pericoronal tissues by the opposing tooth. When is  Operculectomy  suggested? Operculectomy is advised by the dentist when one develops Pericoronitis, which may be acute or chronic. Acute ...
