EdgePro
The EdgePro Laser is a cutting-edge, diode laser specifically designed for use in endodontics. This laser system is used to enhance the cleaning and disinfection of root canals by using focused light energy to target and eliminate bacteria, biofilms, and infected tissue from complex anatomy that is creating the source of your pain while preserving healthy tooth structure. It works by delivering a highly precise beam of light to the inside of the root canal, which helps to remove debris and disinfect even the smallest, most challenging spaces within the tooth. Many EdgePRO patients report a positive in-procedure experience and post-procedure comfort.
EdgePRO technology supports conservative endodontic access and optimal patient outcomes by generating water-seeking rays of light that reach into complex anatomy for a deep canal clean to help remove up to 99% of the bacteria commonly found in the root canal system. Bacteria and biological debris often reside deep within complex anatomy, making it difficult to remove without EdgePRO.
Cleaning. Enhanced.
One of the main benefits of using the EdgePro Laser in root canal therapy is its ability to kill bacteria more effectively than traditional irrigation methods & GentleWave™. Bacteria in the root canals, especially in lateral and complex canal systems, can be difficult to reach with standard instruments. The EdgePro Laser’s focused light can penetrate deep into these spaces, eliminating bacteria biofilm that might otherwise remain, thereby reducing the risk of reinfection.
Biofilm is a sticky layer of bacteria that can form on the walls of the root canal and is notoriously difficult to remove with traditional methods. The laser energy from the EdgePro system disrupts and breaks apart these biofilms, ensuring that the root canal is thoroughly disinfected and prepared for filling.
Procedure. Enhanced.
EdgePRO versatility allows for an expanded indication window, meaning most patients qualify as ideal candidates for the EdgePRO procedure. EdgePro Laser can reach areas that are challenging for traditional instruments to access. This makes it especially useful for cases that require more precise cleaning, such as teeth with narrow, blocked, or calcified canals.
Experience. Enhanced.
The laser’s ability to clean and disinfect more effectively can also reduce the need for multiple visits or retreatments. Additionally, the gentle nature of the laser treatment is less invasive than traditional mechanical cleaning methods, which can sometimes irritate the surrounding tissues and cause discomfort. As a result, patients often experience less post-treatment pain and faster recovery times.
By enhancing the cleaning and disinfection process, the EdgePro Laser can contribute to higher success rates in root canal therapy. A cleaner, more thoroughly disinfected canal reduces the risk of persistent infection, reinfection, and the need for retreatment, ultimately improving long-term outcomes for the patient.
