What is SiroLaser blue good for?
“The SiroLaser Blue is the first dental diode laser worldwide with a blue, infrared and red wavelength. This makes it an all-rounder for dental laser treatment.”
What is SiroLaser?
Versatility in laser dentistry The compact SiroLaser Blue is the first dental diode laser to have a blue, an infrared, and a red diode. This enables it to cover multiple indications providing versatile possibilities for application in your practice routine.
What is diode laser used for in dentistry?
Diode lasers can be used in oral soft tissue surgery and especially small prominent lesions because of easy application, better coagulation, no need for suturing, less swelling and pain, as well as for its capability for treatment of physiologic gingival pigmentation from an esthetic point of view.
Which type of soft tissue laser is most popular in dentistry?
Diode lasers are the most frequently used laser in dentistry for soft tissue treatments.
Can diode laser cut hard tissue?
Laser Usage in the Modern Dental Practice Er:YAG lasers are suited for use in hard tissue treatment as their wavelength (2940 nm) has an affinity for hydroxyapatite and water. Diodes at 810nm have an affinity for hemoglobin and melanin, making them ideal for soft tissue applications.
What can be used to initiate a diode laser tip?
articulating paper
Diode laser fibers are “initiated” by burning articulating paper on the tip. This initiation causes the light energy to be absorbed by the burnt material on the tip, effectively making it a hot piece of quartz. The laser energy cuts indirectly by heating up the fiber optic tip.
Which lasers are used for dentistry?
What Types of Lasers are Used in Dentistry?
- Carbon Dioxide Lasers. The CO2 laser is great for removing soft tissue quite quickly.
- Diode Lasers. Diode lasers are a type of soft tissue laser.
- Hard and Soft Tissue Lasers. Overall, most dental lasers are placed into two categories – hard or soft tissue lasers.
Which laser is used in dental surgery?
Diode laser (810-1064 nm) has become very popular in general dentistry because of their small size, low cost, fiber optic delivery and ease of use for minor surgery of oral soft tissue.
What kind of laser can cut tooth structure?
Hard tissue lasers have a wavelength that is highly absorbable by hydroxyapatite, or the calcium phosphate salt found in bone and teeth, so they are more effective at cutting through tooth structure. These lasers are primarily used to cut into the bone and teeth with extreme precision.
Which laser has the least absorption in dental hard tissue?
Erbium Laser By far, these lasers have shown the most promising results for application in issues related to dental hard tissues.
How do you activate laser tips?
Therefore the laser tip needs to be activated (initiated) by touching the tip to a light absorbing material such as articulating paper, cork, or other dark substance, which produces a “charring” of the tip.
Which type of laser needs initiation?
diode laser
So why does a diode laser need to be initiated? Lasers are optical devices.
