PIPS™ is a patented revolutionary method for chemically cleaning and debriding the root canal system using a proprietary Er: YAG laser energy at sub-ablative power levels.
How does PIPS™ work?
PIPS stripped and tapered tipPIPS™ harnesses the power of a proprietary designed Er:YAG laser to create photoacoustic shock waves within the cleaning and debriding solutions introduced in the canal. The containment of the shockwaves thoroughly streams these solutions three-dimensionally through the entire canal system, enhancing their effectiveness. The canals and subcanals are left clean and the dentinal tubules are free of smear layer. PIPS™ is equally effective for final water rinsing prior to obturation.
How is PIPS™ applied during root canal therapy?
1. GAIN ACCESS TO THE CANAL
Open with the LightWalker® Er:YAG laser as you normally would prior to root canal therapy.
2. MINIMALLY INVASIVE INSTRUMENTATION
Preserve more of the natural tooth structure and thereby improve strength and integrity.
3. PERFORM PIPS™ WITH THE LIGHTWALKER™
PIPS™ is performed with the LightWalker™ and Technology4Medicine's exclusive protocol.
4. OBTURATE THE CANAL
Obturate the canal as you normally would. PIPS™ is perfect for use with advanced endodontic filling resins such as EndoREZ® by UltraDent®. You are now ready to complete your restoration.
