Dental Treatment
T he fundamental aim of dentistry is to maintain healthy natural
dentition, while the main goal of endodontic treatment is
to preserve functional teeth. During the endodontic treatment
the pulp tissue, bacteria and bacterial products are removed.
Endodontic treatment is complex procedure and for success,
we have to follow strict protocol: accurate diagnosis, access
cavity preparation, shaping and irrigation – chemomechanical
preparation, obturation and final restoration. Until recently,
mechanical instrumentation was the most important part of
endodontic treatment, butmore than 35%of the root canal surface
remained untouched by instrumentation. Furthermore, during the
instrumentation dentin debris and smear layer are produced.
Biofilm, smear layer and dentin debris may be removed only by
irrigation; therefore, different irrigation techniques (manual and
mechanical) have been developed. One of the latest is LAI (laser-
activated irrigation). Laser can be used in twoways: (1) directly, by
irradiating the dentinal wall (CLE-conventional laser endodonty),
or (2) indirectly, by irradiating/activating photoactive substances
(PAD – photo activated disinfection) or irrigants (LAIs.l.).
Erbium laser family presents one of the newer technologies in
endodontics for activation of irrigants. The basic principle of LAI
is producing the bubble that leads in three-dimensional flow of
irrigants. According to the fiber/tip position in root canal system
the latter is further divided into LAIs. and PIPS (photo induced
photoacoustic streaming). Compared to other techniques , PIPS
is very well defined by protocol of irrigation that includes laser
parameters, tips, tip position, and propose the final sequence for
irrigants with concentrations, supported by research results.
Biography
Barbara Škrlj Golob has graduated at University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), Fac-
ulty of Medicine, Department of Dentistry, in year 2000. In 2007, she started
with private practice. In 2011, she got involved in first Laser Workshop in
Aachen where she received a Certificate of LSO and AALZ Dental Laser. One
year later, she received PIPS Certificate awarded by Professor Giovanni Olivi
from Rome. In 2016, she got MSc degree in Laser dentistry in University of
Genova and in 2017 she finished another MSc degree at the University of
Torino, Master in Clinical and Surgical Microendodontics, under supervision
by Professor Elio Berutti.
