What is PIPS™?
PIPS™ (patent applied for) is a revolutionary method for chemically cleaning and debriding the root canal system using Er: YAG laser energy at sub-ablative power levels.
The stripped and tapered PIPS™ tip (patent applied for) optimizes the propagation of shock waves at sub-ablative laser power.
The PIPS™ tip is inserted into only the coronal 1/3 of the canal.
How does PIPS™ work?
PIPS™ harnesses the power of the Er:YAG laser to create photoacoustic shock waves within 15% EDTA solution introduced in the canal. The containment of the shock waves within the canal system thoroughly streams the EDTA solution through the entire canal system, selectivity removing the debris. The sub-canals are left clean and the dentinal tubules are free of smear layer. PIPS™ is equally effective for final water rinsing prior to obturation.
