Study finds that the LiteTouch™ Endo Spiral tip is 99% effective for root canal disinfection.

 

The recent paper published by Sebbane et al., (2022) proved that the Side-Firing Spiral Endo Tip is the only tip that allowed the laser energy straight to the target walls of the root canal, ensuring the cleaning and disinfecting of the root canal system.

Moreover, the LiteTouch™ Er:YAG Laser + Endo Spiral tip increased the reduction of the bacteria regardless of the type of endodontic irrigation fluids chosen.

 

The conclusion: LiteTouch™ Er:YAG Laser with the Endo Spiral tip presented a safe and efficient treatment for eradicating bacteria and removing the infected regions from root canals.
