İhmal Edilmiş Periapikal Lezyonun Hızlı İyileşmesi: Bir Vaka Raporu

Endodontik lezyonun iyileşme süreci için mikroorganizmaların kök kanal sisteminden tamamen elimi- ne edilmiş olması hayati önem taşımaktadır. Bununla birlikte, bazı bakteri türleri kök kanal yıkama solusyonlarına direnç gösterebilmekte ve dentin tübüllerinde yıllarca yaşayarak kalıcı periradiküler lezyonlara neden olabilmektedir. Derinlere inebilen ve çok etkin dezenfeksiyon yeteneğine sahip olmaları nedeniyle son on yılda diyot lazerler, lazer destekli endodonti işlemlerinde yaygın olarak kabul görmüştür. Bu vaka raporu, geleneksel kök kanal tedavi prosedürleri ile birlikte kanal içi lazer dezenfeksiyonu yapılması sonucunda periapikal bir lezyonun hızlı iyileşmesini sunmaktadır.

Fast Healing of a Neglected Periapical Lesion

Complete elimination of microorganisms from the root canal system is crucial for the healing process of an endodontic lesion. Nevertheless, some species of bacteria can cope with root canal irrigants, survive in the dentinal tubules for years and cause persistent periradicular lesions. In the last decade, diode lasers received wide acceptance in laser-supported endodontics because of their impactful and deep-reaching disinfection ability. This case report presents the fast healing of a periapical lesion as a result of performing intra-canal laser disinfection in conjunction with conventional root canal treatment procedures.
