LASER Cleaning Technology
At Apical Endodontics, we stay up to date with the latest scientific advancement and technology. Laser intracanal activation involves agitation and "activation" of disinfectants used in root canal treatment to clean out accessory canals better than ever before. We have two systems: EdgePRO™ and Fotona Lightwalker II Laser technology, both enhancing the removal and disinfection of infected tissue, biofilm (mixture of bacteria) and smear layer (extra debris) without removing unnecessary tooth structure in the root canal system. This will further add to the success rate of root canal treatments done at our practice. Welcome to cutting edge technology!
EdgePRO™
EdgePRO™Laser Microfluidic irrigation received full FDA 510 (K) clearance for use in Endodontic Treatment. It utilizes Er,Cr:YSGG 2780nm wavelength laser technology.
​
EdgePRO™ provides outstanding Cleaning, Debridement and Disinfection by removing infected tissue, biofilm and smear layer killing up to 99% of bacteria commonly found in the root canal. This should give you confidence that your tooth's infection is being removed at the highest efficiency, more than ever before.​

Fotona Lightwalker utilizes Super Short Pulse irrigation (also known as Photon Induced Photo-acoustic Streaming). It uses the Er:YAG laser to create non-thermal photoacoustic waves within the cleaning and debriding solutions introduced in the canal.

The latest SWEEPS® (Shock Wave Enhanced Emission Photo-acoustic Streaming) Er:YAG laser modality additionally improves the irrigation and disinfecting efficacy of laser endodontics. By using synchronized pairs of ultra-short pulses, an accelerated collapse of laser-induced bubbles is achieved, leading to enhanced shockwave emission even inside the narrowest root canals.
