Outline
There has been a volcanic eruption of technologies in Endodontics over the past 20 years.
The development of NiTi shaping files, the debut of biocompatible materials, the advent of CBCT for improved diagnostics.
These minimally invasive technologies promote the maximum preservation of tooth structure, but according to an old aphorism enunciated by Herbert Schilder, for the success of endodontic therapy, “what is removed” is more important than “what is introduced” into the canal system.
In this view, laser activated irrigation, and more specifically SWEEPS technology represents a breakthrough method for 3D cleaning and disinfection of the root canal system.
Er:YAG laser technology is used to activate the commonly used irrigants in endodontics (NaOCl and EDTA) and does not replace any conventional instrumentation.
The SSP technology (single super short pulse) first and the SWEEPS one (dual ultra short pulse) today are validated by a wide body of published and non-published experiments and data.
High-speed videos at 100.000 frames are used to discover the innovative dual pulse laser emission in endodontic environments.
Scanning Electron Microscopy and CT imaging were used to evaluate the tissue dissolution, the debridement, smear layer, and endodontic filling material removal from the endodontic space.
Bacteriological studies as well as confocal analysis were performed to assess the decontaminating effect of these techniques.
The webinar will present an overview of the scientific concepts behind the clinical application and a series of clinical cases will be discussed.
