Laser root canal therapy.
BACKGROUND: In January 2002, the Food and Drug Administration approved the Er,Cr, YSGG laser for complete endodontic therapy. CASE DESCRIPTION: The author presents a case of a 45-year-old male requiring interceptive endodontic therapy of tooth #21 for the fabrication of an overdenture. The YSGG laser was used for access, debridement, and shaping of the canal. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The YSGG laser is the first-ever approved by the FDA for complete endodontic therapy. Laser therapy may provide clinical improvements in pain control and disinfection during endodontic therapy.
