Steps of Laser-Assisted Endodontic Treatment

 

Here are the broad stages of the treatment process when we use the Fotona laser:

 

  1. 1. Consultation and Diagnosis: The first step in laser-assisted endodontic treatment is a thorough consultation and examination with your Cary NC endodontist. During this appointment, Dr. Hancock will review your dental and medical history, perform a comprehensive oral examination, and may use advanced imaging techniques such as digital radiography or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to assess the extent of the dental issue.
  2. 2. Local Anesthesia: Before beginning the procedure, the endodontist will administer local anesthesia to numb the treatment area and ensure your comfort throughout the process. Local anesthesia prevents you from feeling any pain or discomfort during the procedure, allowing the endodontist to work efficiently and effectively.
  3. 3. Access Opening: Using precise laser energy, the endodontist will create a small access opening in the tooth’s crown to reach the pulp chamber and root canals. Laser technology allows for precise and controlled removal of the tooth structure, minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissues and preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
  4. 4. Root Canal Cleaning and Disinfection: Once access to the root canal system is established, Dr. Hancock will use laser energy to disinfect the canals thoroughly. Laser light can penetrate deep into the microscopic tubules of the dentin, effectively eliminating bacteria, debris, and infected tissue. This thorough disinfection is crucial for the success of the endodontic treatment and helps prevent reinfection of the tooth.
  5. 5. Instrumentation and Shaping: Laser-assisted instrumentation is used to shape and clean the root canals, ensuring that they are free from any obstructions or irregularities. Laser energy helps remove debris and organic material from the canals while shaping them to facilitate the proper placement of the filling material.
  6. 6. Obturation: Once the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and shaped, they are filled with a biocompatible material, such as gutta-percha, to seal them and prevent bacterial re-entry. Laser technology may be used to enhance the sealing of the root canal system, ensuring a tight seal and reducing the risk of post-operative complications.
  7. 7. Final Restoration: After completing the root canal treatment, your Cary endodontist will restore the tooth to its optimal form and function. Depending on the extent of the damage to the tooth, this may involve placing a temporary or permanent restoration such as a filling, crown, or onlay to protect the tooth and restore its appearance and strength.
  8. 8. Follow-Up Care: Following laser-assisted endodontic treatment, the endodontist will provide instructions for post-operative care and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure the success of the treatment. It is essential to follow all post-operative instructions carefully and attend all scheduled follow-up visits to optimize the outcome of your endodontic treatment.
