Endodontics is not an easy field for dentist or patient because it is usually associated with the most painful dental procedures. Root canals, surgery, and dental trauma treatments can make most patients turn the other way and opt for no procedure at all above any endodontic procedure. But with newer Low Level Laser Therapy treatments now being made available by many dental professionals, endodontic procedures are taking on a new image. No longer requiring the dreaded drilling and multiple pain relief injections, endodontics can now consist of a quiet, low or no pain procedure involving simple tools, and a LLLT laser. During the procedure, the LLLT can also be used to treat pulp hyperemia, and even diagnose irreversible pulpitis. Patients receiving endodontic treatment using LLLT have also report feeling less pain during and after treatment, as well as increased comfort and peace of mind going into treatment. Furthermore, many patients reporting muscle and jaw pain after long dental visits can be treated by low level laser therapy. By simply applying the laser to the masseter muscle post treatment, can reduce or even completely eliminate the need for strong pain relievers usually taken after procedures. This can be highlighted as a strong benefit to patients with tight jaw muscles, or who report muscle pain after appointments. LLLT can also greatly reduce the risk of infection after an endodontic procedure, purely because of the heat source being reflected off every surface of the surface being worked on. This can prevent future dissatisfaction with dental professionals, as well as be shown as an additional enhancement to patients considering endodontic procedures. LLLT has even been shown to reduce or get rid of the need for root canals in one clinical study conducted in the University of Ankara in Turkey. Continued application of LLLT was shown to restore healthy teeth to the patient after multiple treatments without the need for any root canal, though this is a very new development. With less stress on dentist and patient, increased popularity in laser therapy and the many options LLLT can bring to a dental office, investing in a system is a positive choice for many dentists to increase business, as well as patient satisfaction and recommendations.
