Physiotherapeutic methods of processing root channels with application of light exposure in dentistry

Abstract

Aim. Substantiate the use of light exposure as physiotherapeutic methods of root canal treatment.Materials and methods. For the study, 93 human teeth were taken, all teeth were divided into 3 groups of 31 samples. Optical microscopy was used as the main research method.Results. The effect of laser radiation on biological structures depends on the wavelength of the energy emitted by the laser, the energy density of the beam, and the temporal characteristics of the beam energy. The processes that can occur in this case are reflection, absorption, scattering and transmission. The interaction of laser light and tissues occurs with optical proximity between them. This interaction is specific and selective, based on absorption and diffusion. The smaller the approach, the more light will be reflected or transmitted.Conclusions. Currently, in endodontics, diode lasers are the best systems for disinfecting the root canal system due to their ability to penetrate the dentinal tubules. The optical proximity of their wavelengths to bacteria leads to the destruction of the latter due to the photo-thermal effect.
