Came one year ago, QSP mode gave to laser operative dentistry possibilities to make even sharper and cleaner cuts in hard dental tissues and use of low energy levels without loss of speed and effectivity. Splitting each pulse into several shorter ones makes possible to avoid some unwanted effects when drilling with the Er:YAG laser like absorption and scattering of the laser beam in the debris cloud, thus making the cut more precise. Shorter pulses also mean less thermal effect for the tissues.
