Fotona SWEEPS®

A Revolutionary and Highly Effective Solution for Modern Endodontics

AT a glance

  • Enhanced cleaning and decontamination of root canals
  • Revolutionary method of creating photoacoustic shock waves
  • Laser-assisted irrigation even for complex root structures

What to Expect

Sessions

Fotona SWEEPS® procedure is typically completed in a single session.

Recovery

Recovery is minimal, with most patients resuming normal activities within 24-48 hours after the procedure.

Results

The results ensure a clean, bacteria-free canal to support durable endodontic outcomes.

Dive into the Tech

Fotona® Super Short Pulse (SSP) Technology uses the Er:YAG wavelength to create non-thermal photoacoustic waves, improving cleaning and smear layer removal. Shock Wave Enhanced Emission Photoacoustic Streaming (SWEEPS®) Technology enhances irrigation and decontamination through synchronized ultra-short pulses that generate powerful shockwaves in narrow root canals. The R-SWEEPS® mode allows for customizable settings, optimizing irrigation efficacy and flushing action.

Step 1

Utilize the Fotona® Er:YAG or your high-speed drill as you normally would prior to root canal therapy.

Step 2

Preserve more of the natural tooth structure and thereby improve strength and integrity.

Step 3

Proceed with the procedure using the Er:YAG wavelength (2940nm), adhering to Fotona® patented protocol.

Step 4

Once sealed, proceed with the restoration process, followed by 1064nm photobiomodulation.

Fotona SWEEPS® Testimonials

"The Fotona LightWalker® has provided cutting edge technology to enhance treatments that I perform daily. Fotona SWEEPS® technology macroscopically and microscopically cleans the root canal system including isthmus, fins, and dental tubules and addresses areas that standard irrigation cannot reach. I feel confident that I have performed the best endodontic care possible, both surgically and non-surgically when utilizing this technique."
