WaterLase© fights endodontic infection more effectively than conventional treatment.

WaterLase YSGG 2796nm laser energy penetrates deep into dentinal tubules to kill more bacteria, without the potential toxicity of sodium hypochlorite solutions.1

The WaterLase laser system with the Endolase Radial Firing Tip removes the infection-harboring instrument smear layer remaining after rotary or hand instrumentation of the root canal. This smear layer not only contains infected tissue, but can seal infection within dentinal tubules.

Smear layer traps bacteria in dentinal tubules

Scanning Electron Microscopy shows treatment with WaterLase and Radial Firing Tips leaves canal walls free of smear layer and opens dental tubules, allowing YSGG laser energy to penetrate and destroy bacteria.

Open dental tubules after WaterLase treatment

Superior disinfection, minimally invasive access, greater efficacy, and more promising long-term results.

WaterLase MD™ with the Endolase Radial Firing Tip reduces E. faecalis 2.86 times more effectively than NaOCl.

Why do treatments fail even when all canals are located and cleaning and enlargement is successful? Research shows that most root canal treatment failures are caused by persistent or secondary intraradicular infections, with E. faecalis, the most prevalent species.1 WaterLase MD™ YSGG treatment may reduce the incidence of retreatment.

Most root canal treatment failures are caused by E. faecalis

Endolase Root Canal Therapy is simple, efficient & effective.

The Endolase™ RFT root canal therapy system for the WaterLase YSGG laser is indicated for cleaning and disinfection of the root canal after endodontic instrumentation.

Endolase™ RFT root canal therapy system [LINK TO BIOLASESTORE: http://www.biolasestore.com/servlet/the-Tips-%26-Other-Accessories-cln-All-Tips-cln-Waterlase-MD-cln-Endolase-Root-Canal-Therapy/Categories ]includes one 200 micron and one 300 micron radial firing tip.

The system achieves a 99.7% reduction in bacterial counts in only three minutes compared to 20-30 minutes of conventional treatment.

What Dentists are Saying about WaterLase and Endolase RFT

"I believe that the use of lasers in root canal therapy, specifically the Waterlase product, has the potential to revolutionize and totally change our specialty."

"First, these bacteria [E. faecalis] are known to be highly resistant to other disinfection currently used in root canal therapy. Second, the research demonstrates that the disinfection capability of the laser is effective at a distance into the dentin surrounding the canal, overcoming some accessibility problems for conventional treatment methods. Third, a high level of disinfection can be achieved in minutes, saving both the patient and dentist considerable time during endodontic treatment."
