ROOT CANALS Using LASERS Are BETTER ! !

Lasers simply improve the predictability of root canals! "Root Cause" claims that dentinal tubules cannot be cleaned, and that root canals are dangerous. Laser photonics make a HUGE difference!
Dr. Nick has been doing root canals for over 27 years, and the most significant improvement in root canal therapy that he has seen is the usage of the Lightwalker ER-YAG laser implement to initiate PIPS / SWEEPS shockwave generation, to thoroughly clean and debride the internal root canal system, as well as the myriad of dentinal tubules. Watch as a young man goes through a laser root canal to help retain his lower front tooth that has been dead for several years and is beginning to give him problems. His options were an extraction or a root canal, and he sought out a laser dentist (Dr. Nick) knowing that the laser usage increases the likelihood that he will keep his tooth for the rest of his life ;) References from the scientific literature are included in this video as well as below.

Conclusion: PIPS activation results in more negative bacterial samples and less apical biofilm left when compared to UAI, more debris is removed and a more profound cleaning and disinfection of the isthmus is obtained

Root canal disinfection comparing conventional irrigation vs photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) using a buffered 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution. Evidence-Based Endodontics, 1(1), 1-5.
Conclusion: A buffered 0.5 % sodium hypochlorite solution delivered by the needle syringe method was effective in eradicating E. faecalis from the root canal system. However, activation of buffered 0.5 % sodium hypochlorite by PIPS significantly increased its antimicrobial effectiveness. It is important to use the least cytotoxic irrigating solutions during endodontic therapy without compromising its antimicrobial efficacy. In addition, the use of PIPS allows the irrigating solution to reach otherwise inaccessible areas of the root canal system, thereby increasing the effectiveness of such irrigants.
