A CLINICAL EXAMPLE OF THE USE OF A HYDROKINETIC LASER WATERLASE IPLUS WITH A WAVELENGTH OF 2780 NM IN THE TREATMENT OF PURULENT PULPITIS

The article presents a clinical example demonstrating the tactics of using the hydrokinetic Er, Cr:YSGG laser Waterlase Iplus with a wavelength of 2780 nm in the treatment of purulent pulpitis. The authors were faced with the task of showing the elimination of microorganisms in the treatment of purulent pulpitis, as well as the long-term results of endodontic treatment, using a specific clinical example. Objective is to describe the clinical features and effectiveness of the use of the hydrokinetic Er, Cr:YSGG Waterlase Iplus laser with a wavelength of 2780 nm in the treatment of purulent pulpitis. The patient was treated in one visit, aqua destillata was used with irrigation solution, the root canals of the teeth were sterilized with a hydrokinetic Er, Cr:YSGG laser Waterlase Iplus with a wavelength of 2780 nm with the parameters: power-1.5 W, frequency-40 Hz, air-35%, water-25%. Bacteriological examination after mechanical and laser treatment showed antibacterial decontamination of the root canal system of the tooth. According to the X-ray examination, 6 months after the treatment, there was no inflammatory process in the periodontal tissues. The use of a hydrokinetic Er, Cr: YSGG laser with a wavelength of 2780 nm in the treatment of complicated forms of dental caries is a reliable alternative to traditional endodontic treatment protocols, allowing you to reduce the amount of irrigation solutions used, intra-channel pastes, as well as initiate faster rehabilitation of patients after treatment.
