Versatility in Laser Dentistry

About this Seminar

For more than 50 years since its invention (1966), the laser has found a
wide range of applications in medicine. It took more than 25 years to see
the first dental laser (with very limited use) in our office. But since then,
various types of lasers for dental treatments have been developed and
applied clinically.

In the past years, the efficiency of such devices on oral tissue has been
proven. As they continue to gain acceptance and recognition within
the dental community, lasers are becoming an instrumental part of
everyday practice.

Effective cutting, clear surgical field of view, shortened operating time,
and good to excellent hemostasis are the aim of laser therapy. The laser
operations are rapid and bloodless and have excellent cosmetic and
functional results in the oral cavity. SiroLaser Blue with its revolutionary
technology that provides three different and specific forms of laser
(wavelength) in one device, provides a dental experience with minimal
post-op discomfort and remarkably rapid healing.

Thanks to this new generation of a diode laser, you will be able to
improve your clinical results, increase your efficiencies and incorporate
new procedures in your practice.
