Application Descriptions
Indications for use for incision, excision, coagulation and vaporisation of soft tissue for dental applications as well as the FDA indications for use.
Soft Tissue Crown Lengthening
- Crown and bridge impressions
- Increases length of crowns for better restoration and aesthetic
- Tissue can be removed with a blood free field
- With little or hardly any post-procedure pain
- No need for use scalpel or sutures
- No shrinkage
- Good impression can be done in one visit
Sulcular Debridement/Curettage
- Early stages of periodontal diseases
- Reduces pocket depths
- Use with standard scaling and root planing
- Non surgical procedure
Tissue Retraction for Impression
- No need for retraction cord
- No bleeding
- Good impression
- Good exposed margins
- No need for electro surgery
Whitening
- Immediate whitening in less than 30 minutes
- 8+ shades of whitening
Gingivectomy
- Immediate impressions for crown and bridge procedures
- Redundant or hyper plastic tissue can be removed within a bloodless field
- No post operative pain
- Increases the length of the clinical crown for improved restoration retention and aesthetic harmony
- No scalpel or sutures
Gingivoplasty
- Immediate impressions for crown and bridge procedures
- Redundant or hyper plastic tissue can be removed within a bloodless field
- No post operative pain
- Increases the length of the clinical crown for improved restoration retention and aesthetic harmony
- No scalpel or sutures
Frenectomy
- Bloodless and suture-free release of the maxillary and/or mandibular frenums
- Prevents the apical migration of gingival marginal tissue
- Improves access for oral hygiene
- Close orthodontic diastemas
- Improve impaired speech.
Apthous Ulcers
- Desensitise apthous ulcers
- Pain stops within hours of the procedure
- Enhances the healing process.
Excision of Fibromas/Biopsies
- Coagulation ability (excisional biopsies)
- No need to suture
- Tissue heal without any scar
Operculectomy
- Removal of redundant soft tissue distal/posterior molars
Implant Recovery and Restoration
- Removal of excessive gingival tissue around the implant that interfere with proper seating at the implant / retainer interface.
- Retainers that are not fully seated can eventually become loosened by occlusal forces – resulting in unstable restorations.
Hygiene - Laser Sulcular Debridement & Curettage
- Early stages of periodontal diseases
- Significant reduction of bacteria
- Reduce inflammation and supports healing within the periodontal pockets
- Reduces pocket depths
- Use with standard scaling and root planing
- Non surgical procedure
