Feb 5, 2017

Endodontic technology developer Sonendo has acquired medical and dental laser therapies company PIPStek.

PIPStek manufactures the PIPS (photon induced photoacoustic streaming) laser technologies. Sonendo announced that the newly acquired company's technology will not be used in the endodontic market, instead it will allow expansion into other areas of dentistry. Sonendo's GentleWave system will continue to be the company's only offering in endodontics.

PIPStek will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Sonendo and remain a standalone company.
