IFEA Workshop

27 August 2026 | Hills Endodontics, 165 Old Northern Rd, Castle Hill NSW 2154

Join Dr. David Barnard and Prof. Roeland DE MOOR for a half-day immersive hands-on workshop exploring Fotona’s revolutionary SWEEPS® (Shock Wave Enhanced Emission Photoacoustic Streaming) technology.

This session will delve into the science, clinical protocols, and practical applications of laser-assisted irrigation in endodontics. Attendees will gain firsthand experience with Fotona’s Er:YAG laser systems and learn how SWEEPS® enhances debridement, disinfection, and treatment outcomes in root canal therapy.

Topics to be covered:

  • Understand the principles behind SWEEPS® and its role in photoacoustic streaming.
  • Compare traditional irrigation methods with laser-assisted techniques in terms of efficacy and safety.
  • Learn how to integrate Fotona’s Er:YAG laser systems into clinical endodontic workflows.
  • Explore the impact of laser pulse dynamics on cavitation and fluid movement within the root canal system.
  • Gain hands-on experience with SWEEPS® protocols for optimal canal disinfection and smear layer removal.
  • Review clinical case studies demonstrating improved outcomes with laser-assisted irrigation.
  • Discuss patient selection, treatment planning, and post-operative considerations for laser-enhanced endodontics.
