Benefits
The first FDA-cleared Blue Laser for dental use. Blue laser light has a much higher absorption in soft tissue (i.e. hemoglobin and melanin) than conventional infrared diode laser wavelengths (810 nm, 940 nm, 970 nm). This leads to a much improved soft-tissue cutting efficiency which allows non-contact cutting, a first in dentistry for diode lasers. No fiber initiation is required and non-contact cutting means there is no need to remove hemoglobin, the hemostatic effect is outstanding, helping during all surgical treatments, as well as within CAD/CAM workflow.
Infrared laser light is used in management of periodontal disease as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP).
In addition, infrared laser light can be applied to the perio pockets within the hygiene workflow.
Laser-assisted periodontal therapy (LAPT) leads to an improved periodontal status without surgical intervention and minimal discomfort.
Red laser light is used for photobiomodulation, also known as low level laser therapy.
Photobiomodulation works through the application of photon energy of light to the tissue. It passes through the skin barrier and is absorbed by the cells where it initiates physiological reactions within the mitochondria.
Photobiomodulation can be used throughout the dental practice, supporting indications in both surgical and therapeutic procedures.
