Root Canal Disinfection

Clinical Explanation: 
Root canal is the space within the root of a tooth. It is part of a naturally occurring space within a tooth that consists of the pulp chamber (within the coronal part of the tooth), the main canals, and more intricate anatomical branches that may connect the root canals to each other or to the surface of the root. When the root canal system is disinfected, the long-term stability of a tooth is increased.

Medical device: CHEESE 7W 980nm (output power 1w-2.5w,CW)

Accessories:400um bare fiber,dental surgery handpiece with tips

Settings: CHESE 7W dental diode laser sets to 150MJ,10HZ, for 20 seconds of exposure per canal.

Clinical tip
After the working length has been measured and verified via conventional methods, the laser fiber or dental handpiece tip is placed between 1 and 2 mm short of the canal apex because the laser energy emanates beyond the end of the tip. The canal must be kept moist at all times to avoid charring of the dentinal walls and to enhance the bactericidal effects of the laser energy. Conventional root canal irrigants can be used.
