The EdgePRO™ laser system is used to enhance the cleaning and disinfection of root canals.
A root canal is much more than simply removing the infected nerve. The inside of every tooth contains a complex network of tiny canals and microscopic spaces where bacteria can hide. Even with specialized instruments, some of these areas are too small or intricate to reach mechanically.
The EdgePRO laser helps improve this process by delivering pulses of laser energy into the disinfecting solution already inside the root canal. This energy creates millions of microscopic bubbles that rapidly expand and collapse, gently moving the cleaning solution throughout the root canal system. This enhanced fluid movement helps the disinfecting solution reach areas that are difficult to clean with instruments alone thus achieving:
Enhanced disinfection by improving the penetration of cleaning solutions into complex canal anatomy.
Improved cleaning of microscopic spaces where bacteria may remain.
Preserves healthy tooth structure, since the laser is used to activate the cleaning solution rather than remove additional tooth.
Supports long-term healing by reducing the bacterial load inside the tooth.
Comfortable treatment, with no additional discomfort beyond your root canal procedure.
We continually invest in technologies that are supported by scientific research and have the potential to improve patient care. Laser-assisted irrigation is one of several advanced techniques we use to help maximize disinfection while preserving your natural tooth whenever possible.
Our goal is simple: to give your tooth the best possible opportunity to heal and remain healthy for years to come.
