The nationally syndicated TV show "The Doctors" is scheduled to broadcast a root canal procedure performed using Biolase's Endolase RFT root canal therapy system on January 8, according to the company.
The procedure, videotaped on November 10, was performed live by Darrell Chun, D.D.S., using a Waterlase MD YSGG laser system and Endolase radial firing laser tips. No anesthetic was used, according to Biolase.
In March 2008, Biolase received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance of its Waterlase MD with RFT endoTips for root canal disinfection after endodontic instrumentation.
