What are some alternative way to do root canal?

Mechanical or lasers: Root canals can be done strictly by using hand instruments and alternatives are using mechanical instrumentation. These files are specially made and are more efficient in cleaning and shaping the canals. Lasers can also be used to do root canals.

Alternative to RCT: RCT = Root Canal Therapy. The latest research points to a higher predictability of success with the extraction and dental implant placement. Especially if the endodontic treatment is compromised
