Laser RCT is an advanced approach to root canal treatment where the procedure is undertaken through laser. A dental laser is used to clean and disinfect the root canal system, removing infected tissue and bacteria while preserving healthy tissue.
The laser penetrates deep into the pulp canal, removing the debris and infection. Laser RCT is faster than the traditional RCT but also results in a faster healing time but it is not recommended for every tooth.
Laser RCT may be recommended for patients who require root canal therapy but prefer a less invasive approach. It may be particularly beneficial for patients with anxiety, low pain threshold and for the patients who wish to go for single sitting RCT. Laser RCT may also be recommended for cases where traditional root canal therapy has been unsuccessful or where the tooth has complex anatomy that is difficult to access with traditional methods. Your dentist can determine if laser RCT is the right option for you.
A persistent tooth pain and sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures may be a sign of a severe tooth infection. Laser RCT can effectively remove infected pulp and bacteria.
If there is an extraoral or an intraoral swelling, it may be a sign of an abscess or infection. Laser RCT of the infected tooth can help eliminate the infection and prevent further complications.
If you have previously undergone traditional root canal therapy but continue to experience symptoms, laser RCT may be a viable alternative.
People with low pain threshold or anxiety about dental procedures may be more comfortable with less invasive options compared to traditional root canal therapy.
If the affected tooth has complex anatomy and a root that is difficult to access with hand files, laser RCT may be helpful.
The first step is the assessment of the tooth and whether the tooth is healthy enough to undergo laser RCT procedure. Once the assessment is done, the dentist will start with the procedure
