As an adjunct
to traditional are just a few of the intended uses. These soft tissue lasers are implemented
for use in periodontal, restorative, orthodontic and minor surgical treatments.1
The NV PRO3 microlaser demonstrated here is a portable soft tissue laser. Weighing
only 1.9
ounces is it easily
transported from
operatory to
operatory. It’s
cordless design
and excellent
shape make it
my favorite to
use. It is really
not much bigger
than a Sharpie.
The class IV
laser device has a lithium ion battery with over and undercharge protection and
delivers thirty minutes of continuous operation at 1.2 watts or power. The twelve
preset procedural settings are used for all periodontal, restorative and orthodontic
-
deliver between 0.1 and 2.0 watts of power in continuous wave or pulse mode. The
wavelength of this tool is 808nm (+/- 5nm)
This microlaser allows the dentist and hygienist to perform different procedures
with less chair time with predictable results as compared to more traditional
methods. Discomfort is reduced or eliminated and procedures are often completed
without local anesthetic. A positive patient experience is the best marketing
tool, as patients who undergo non-invasive procedures are more likely to continue
treatment and tell their family and friends. Preventive and restorative dental procedures
become minimally invasive.
An equally relevant,
practical
use of the NVPRO3
microlaser
is for periodontal
treatment
performed by the
dental hygienist.
