Can you give me some information on Lesion Sterilization Tissue Repair (LSTR)?

Q.
Hi Dr Butt,

i think i need a root canal treatment as the pain in my tooth is slowly getting worse and is becoming difficult to cope with, i have done some research online and have discovered a new treatment called Lesion Sterilization Tissue Repair (LSTR) using a combination of anti biotics (3Mix-MP)

the reason that i want this treatment is because the tooth is not actually dead and is allowed to heal naturally and so does not become brittle and its always better to have a tooth that is able to function as close to 100% as possible!

do you do this treatment at your clinic or have any plans to in the future?

kind regards

A.
Hi and thank you for your enquiry. I don’t plan to offer this treatment in the near future as there is jus not enough credible literature to consider it as things stand.
Once there is a body of evidence to support it , may consider it’s use.  I hope that helps.
