Laser-Assisted Root Canal Treatment

Laser-Assisted Root Canal Treatment

What is Laser-Assisted Root Canal Treatment?

Laser-assisted root canal treatment refers to a modern and minimally invasive method for treating infected or damaged tooth roots. It involves using laser technology to remove infected tissue, sanitize the root canal, and promote healing. The use of laser technology also allows for more precise removal of infected tissue, preserving more of the natural tooth structure, and making the procedure safer and less time-consuming.

During the treatment, a laser is used to sterilize the infected root canals, remove bacteria, and help clean and shape the canal walls more effectively. The laser also helps to reduce the inflammation and bacteria, promoting faster healing.
