Laser as an inseparable element of modern dentistry

Lasers are a powerful marketing tool. If a doctor uses lasers, it tells a patient who addressed him that this specialist strives for enhancement of treatment. Of even greater importance is the fact that a laser is an extremely efficient clinical instrument.

Laser equipment is rather widely used in most diverse treatment practices. Until quite recently the use of lasers was restricted by procedures on soft tissues only. Along with evolving technology it became possible to treat mouth hard tissues as well.

Doctors always wanted to have a device which would be minimally traumatic for patients and multi-purpose at the same time. The variety of medical indications for the use of laser is very wide today, and the laser’s capabilities oftentimes allow doctors to administer unique treatment. Despite the fact that carrying out rebuilding procedures with the help of a laser can require a little more time than in case with the use of air-turbine handpieces and burs, scarce necessity to use anaesthesia and etch tissues in the course of elimination of caries lesions compensates the time spent on providing access.

The capability of the unit to work with soft tissues enables a dentist to perform many manipulations on soft tissues, which it is problematic or simply impossible to do without a laser. Dentists should ask themselves when for the last time they eliminated a fibroma, performed excision of the gingival tissue or frenectomy, disinfection of gingival crevice or gingival contouring for cosmetic purposes. Having answered these questions, they must look through their price lists and note what the monetary compensation for carrying out of these procedures would be. It is important that the majority of these procedures do not require anaesthesia and saturation incase a laser is used, which is highly valued by patients.

Top-quality laser systems are expensive. Nevertheless, business practices of many clinics show that this equipment pays out quickly. The expenses for laser are compensated on account of bigger number of patients who are attracted by this treatment method. And it is worth noting that this technology is popular among those patients whom dentists would like to see in their clinics.

Unique patented Waterlase lasers having a wavelength of 2,780 nm make it possible to use one handpiece both for hard and soft tissues. Nozzles having different purposes (hard and soft tissues, root canals, gingival pockets, surgical procedures, etc.) are the replaceable tools. This equipment is easy to use. The design of laser energytransmission system and handpiece mirrors the turbine with fiber optics the doctors are accustomed to. The apparatus is equipped with a sensor control display, intuitive interface, more than 50 preset regimes for various procedures and many other options, which simplifies the doctor’s work and makes it possible to achieve the best clinical results.

American company Biolase which manufactures this equipment is the world’s leader in development of laser dental appliances. At present more than 25,000 Biolase lasers were sold all over the world. The company has its branches in all parts of the world including Russia and has its own service department in Moscow, which is an important factor for those who choose a supplier of complicated advanced equipment.
