Root canal treatment, also known as endodontics, is a tooth-saving procedure that often causes fear in patients due to its complex nature and associated discomfort. However, new technologies are revolutionising the way endodontics is carried out, introducing significant innovations that not only reduce treatment time, but also increase efficiency and patient comfort. One such innovation is the FOTONA laser, which plays a key role in the future of endodontics.

The Revolution in Canal Treatment
Traditional root canal treatment methods involve manually removing infected tissue from inside the tooth using specialised instruments. While these techniques are effective, they can be time-consuming and demanding for patients. However, with the introduction of the FOTONA laser, endodontics has become more precise, effective and comfortable than ever before.
What is a FOTONA Laser?
FOTONA is a company known for its innovative solutions in laser technology in dentistry. Their Er:YAG laser is used in endodontics to perform root canal treatments. The FOTONA laser works by emitting pulses of light of a specific wavelength, which are precisely directed to remove infected tissue from inside the tooth.
Advantages of root canal treatment with the FOTONA laser
- Precision: The FOTONA laser allows dentists to precisely remove infected tissue while minimising damage to healthy tissue. This means less risk of complications and better results for patients.
- Reduced treatment time: Thanks to the use of the FOTONA laser, the time required for root canal treatment can be significantly reduced compared to traditional methods.
- Patient comfort: The FOTONA laser provides less invasiveness and discomfort compared to traditional endodontic instruments, making treatment more comfortable for the patient.
- Possible elimination of bacteria: The FOTONA laser has germicidal properties, which can help eliminate bacteria infected in the tooth canals, leading to better treatment results.
Assistance in difficult cases
The FOTONA laser is not only beneficial in typical root canal treatment cases, but can also be an invaluable tool in situations where traditionally a tooth would be referred for extraction. Thanks to its precision and ability to remove infected tissue even in the most complicated areas of root canals, the FOTONA laser offers the chance to preserve a tooth that would otherwise have to be extracted. This means that even in the most difficult cases, patients can have the chance to preserve their natural dentition and avoid the need for dentures or implants. For those facing possible tooth extraction, the FOTONA laser opens up new treatment options that can be life-changing and restore confidence in their smile.
How is the root canal treatment performed with the FOTONA laser?
The procedure of root canal treatment with the FOTONA laser begins with the precise aiming of the laser beam into the tooth where the infected tissue is located. The laser is then used to remove this tissue and disinfect the root canals. Once the canals are cleaned, the dentist fills them with long-lasting material to prevent re-infection and restore tooth function.
Summary
The FOTONA laser is a breakthrough technology that is changing the face of endodontics. With its precision, efficiency and comfort for patients, root canal treatment is becoming less stressful and more effective than ever before. For those struggling with dental problems, the FOTONA laser opens the door to a new era in root canal treatment, bringing hope for healthy smiles for years to come.
