The Endolase™ RFT root canal therapy system for the Waterlase MD™ is indicated for cleaning and disinfection of the root canal after endodontic instrumentation. The Endolase™ RFT root canal therapy system for the Waterlase MD™ includes one 200 micron and one 300 micron radial firing tip in a system that achieves a 99.7% reduction in bacterial counts in only 2-3 minutes of treatment time compared to 20-30 minutes with conventional treatment. Separate kits for Anterior and Posterior are available.

“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.”

Waterlase MD™ treatment with radial
firing EndoTips™ reduces bacterial counts
to levels approaching sterilization. Waterlase YSGG 2780nm laser energy penetrates deep into dentinal tubules to kill more bacteria, without subjecting patients to the potential toxicity of sodium hypochlorite solutions.

The smear layer remaining after rotary or hand instrumentation not only contains infected tissue,but can seal infection within dentinal tubules. Scanning Electron Microscopy shows how treatment with Waterlase MD™ radial firing EndoTips™ leaves canal walls free of smear layer, and opens dental tubules, allowing YSGG laser energy to penetrate and destroy bacteria.
