From Everyday Dentistry to Advanced Photoacustic Endodontic Applications (PIPS): Er:YAG & Nd:YAG Dual Wavelength Laser

Kotlow L, DiVito E, Olivi G

Lasers provide an exciting new technology that allows the dentist the ability to give patients optimal care without many of the "fear factors" found in conventional dental techniques. Used with proper understanding of laser physics, lasers are extremely safe and effective.
Using lasers for caries removal, perio treatment, endodontic treatment, bone management, cutting and shaping, and soft tissue procedures can reduce postoperative discomfort, infection and provide safe, simple in-office treatment. As a result, we can improve our efficiency, expand what we can do, achieve better results and increase production.
