It is used in a wide range of endodontic and surgical procedures, including laser-enhanced root canal disinfection, treatment of persistent infections, resorption care, apicoectomy, abscess management, and postoperative support. We also use Fotona technology for photobiomodulation, which may help support wound healing and reduce postoperative discomfort and swelling.
