Harnessing the power of dental lasers

Feature
Article

Rounding up some of the top products on the market.

Dental lasers are no longer a thing of science fiction. These powerful tools can perform highly demanded procedures from soft-tissue surgeries like frenectomies and gingivectomies to hard-tissue procedures such as caries removal.

Lasers also aid in treatment acceptance. Rather than deal with the shrill sound of a drill or the stick of a needle, many lasers on the market are said to offer patients anesthesia-free, no-cut procedures.

Not sure if laser technology is the right fit for your practice? Check out some of the top options we’ve compiled on the next few pages.

 

Aquamarine

• Due to an innovative wavelength of 445 nm with high absorbance in haemoglobin, Aquamarine is designed to cut soft tissues with less power, which is said to lead to lesser carbonization and thermal damage to tissues.
• The laser has four built-in treatment presets and 12 definable programs for each of the two possible users.
• Sterile EndoTips and UniTips and autoclavable ActivTips reportedly provide solutions for a faster and safer workflow.

AdvErL EVO

• The wavelength of this Er:YAG laser is said to be excellent for dental treatment because it’s readily absorbed by water and efficiently vaporizes human tissue that his high water content, reportedly affecting only the surface of that tissue.
• The laser is designed to produce very little heat, which keeps discomfort to a minimum.
• An array of tip options enables the laser to perform both hard and soft tissue procedures.

Fotona Lightwalker®

• The Fotona Lightwalker is said to be a cutting-edge, next-generation, modern laser system that combines the two most researched and beneficial laser wavelengths in dentistry - Nd:YAG and Er:YAG.
• Dentists can reportedly use the laser to perform highly demanded and lucrative procedures such as Nightlase snoring treatment and Smoothlase intraoral facial rejuvenation treatments.
• Endo and perio patients are said to experience less pain and faster healing.

LightScalpel CO2 Laser

• The LightScalpel CO2 Laser is said to be the ideal tool to perform soft-tissue surgeries, including frenectomy, gingivectomy, operculectomy, fibroma removal, aphthous ulcer treatment and more.
• The laser reportedly offers the most advanced and ergonomic delivery system for dental CO2 lasers -  a hollow waveguide (flexible fiber).
• The LightScalpel is held only 1-3 mm away from the tissue, which is said to allow for greater accuracy.

Spectralase 980

• Spectralase 980 is reportedly the only diode laser developed to treat peri-implantitis.
• Spectrum Lasers utilize a 980 nm wavelength that’s said to be 30 times more attracted to water than an 810 nm wavelength.
• The advanced pulse mode is designed to allow for more comfortable cutting, which is said to be especially important in order to keep the temperature of an implant and the surrounding bone under the critical threshold when treating peri-implantitis.

SiroLaser Blue

• SiroLaser Blue is reportedly the first dental laser in the U.S. that emits a blue light at a wavelength of 445 nm.
• The blue light energy is said to be absorbed nearly 100 times better by soft tissue than infrared light, enabling fast, precise and virtually painless cutting with impressive results.
• The laser is also engineered to be used at a wavelength of 970 nm (infrared light) for traditional indications in periodontics and hygiene and 660 nm (visible red light) for soft laser applications.
