Laser Tooth Whitening: Diode vs. TouchWhite Er:YAG Tx

Anil Türem Dinç, DDS and Özge Erbil Maden, DDS

In this clinical case we used two different treatment methods for tooth whitening. We decided to use different laserwavelengths, a diode 810 nm and an Er:YAG 2940 nm, for each patient in order to compare the efficiency of each treatment method. The case demonstrates that in comparison with diode bleaching, the TouchWhite Er:YAG whitening method has proven to be faster, gentler and more effective in achieving natural whitening results and shine.
