WATCH HIGHLIGHTS OF THE First Interationally Televised Laser Root Canal Procedure

On January 8, 2009, the internationally syndicated TV show “The Doctors” featured a Waterlase Dentistry root canal treatment performed live at CBS Paramount Studios in Hollywood.

Dr. Darrell Chun, a Waterlase Dentist from Elk Grove, California performed the entire root canal procedure without numbing up the highly dental-phobic patient, who had previously experienced a very painful root canal.

Dr. Chun used the Waterlase MD throughout the procedure — from access through cleaning and disinfection. The Waterlase MD with Radial Firing Tips is the first laser treatment FDA cleared for disinfection of the root canal.

We anticipate increased demand from this exposure for the Waterlase root canal procedure. We encourage Waterlase Dentists to be prepared to perform the procedure and have Radial Firing Tips on hand to meet patient demand. If you have not performed the procedure, you can learn more online here.

The Endolase™ RFT root canal therapy system, only for the Waterlase MD™, is indicated for cleaning and disinfection of the root canal after endodontic instrumentation.Own a Waterlase, but not an MD?

“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.” Roy H.
