Enhancing Endodontic Success: Exploring Laser-Based Techniques for Root Canal Therapy Improvement
Violeta Dogandziyska
Abstract: Failures in root canal therapy may be due to many causes. Some of them, such as incomplete obturation of the root canal space and coronal microleakage, may be amenable to endodontic retreatment. Usually retreatment isconducted through the root canal system as a first approach.Endodontic success is dependent on disinfection and debridement of the canal system. Once our knowledge of optimal laser parameters for each treatment is complete, lasers can be developed that will provide dentists with the ability to care for patients with improved techniques. The use of dental lasers for root canal filling removal is an alternative to conventional endodontic therapy and can be the last chance before surgery.
