PHOTONS BRING A NEW TUNE

Author and co author:


G.RUTHVIKA,G.NIKITHA
Root canals or root canal system . . . ?
Endodontic principles to successful
therapy

Three basic goals to achieve success:

1. Debridement,Decontamination and Disinfect

2. Obturate the canal

3. Prevent re-infection
TRADITIONAL ENDODONTIC IRRIGATION
TECHNIQUES

MANUAL IRRIGATION

SONIC AND ULTRASONIC IRRIGATION


WHAT MAKES THEM FALL SHORT…?

In successfully removing all of the infective


microorganisms

1. The COMPLEX root canal anatomy

2. Inability of common irrigants to penetrate into the


LATERAL canals and the APICAL RAMIFICATIONS
MORE RECENTLY…

• Many studies have


evaluated the effects of
lasers on root canal walls

• Laser procedures were Er : YAG laser


performed with end-firing
tips with energy outputs
from 75-100MJ

• Such end firing tips


irradiated dentin surface

• Presence of charring and


ledging
LASER ASSISTED
IRRIGATION
– More effective removal of debris and smear layer

– Increased production and consumption of sodium


hypo-chlorite in comparison to ultrasound activation
WHAT IS PIPS® ..?
• PIPS® Is a revolutionary method for cleaning and
debriding the root canal system using Er: YAG laser
energy at sub-ablative power levels.

PIPS: PHOTON INDUCED PHOTO ACOUSTIC
STREAMING

• Er: YAG laser with tapered and stripped tip

• Tapered and stripped tip placed at coronal


orifice

• Activates irrigants between each


instrumentation

• Each impulse, absorbed by water molecules


Creates STRONG SHOCK WAVES by photoacoustic
and photo mechanical phenomenon
PIPS works….

o Use of low energy about 20MJ at 10HZ,0.2W average power.

o Pulse duration of 50 MICROSECONDS with special designed,tapered and


stripped tip that 400 MICRON DIAMETER,9mm LONG
(LIGHTWALKER,FOTONA,LHUBLJANA-SLOVENIA)

o This only provides a peak power of 400 WATTS

o Tip is activated in a wet canal for 30SECOND cycles between


instrumentation

This greatly reduces the thermal and abalative effect on root canal
surface
Furthermore,use of tapered and stripped tip produced greater lateral
emissions and lower forward emissions to that of a conventional tip.

STREAMING AND 3D OBTURATION
CONCLUSION
Advantages PIPS™
– Three-dimensionally debride and decontaminate dentinal
tubules.
– Effectively deliver treatments in less time

– Allows for a more minimally invasive and conservative


– Obturate canals three dimensionally

Other uses include;


o Removing Bio films in periodontal pockets,inaccessible furcation
areas and vertical defects
o Calcium hydroxide removal from root canal
