Hard-tissue treatments

  • The Er:YAG wavelength excels at cavity preparation, tooth decay removal, and hard-tissue procedures with minimal vibration or heat, often eliminating the need for a dental drill and local anaesthetic .
  • The laser can offer faster cutting than rotary burs, delivering smooth surfaces and improved patient comfort while minimizing microfractures in enamel and dentin .

Soft-tissue applications

  • Both Er:YAG and Nd:YAG enable bloodless soft-tissue surgery, gum contouring, and periodontal therapy with reduced bleeding, pain, and swelling .
  • Treatments include gum reshaping, lesion excision, frenectomy, and efficient healing of soft-tissue wounds.

Endodontics and disinfection

  • Advanced protocols such as SWEEPS and PIPS (photoacoustic streaming) use ultrashort Er:YAG pulses to create shockwaves in irrigants, enhancing root canal cleaning and smear layer removal far beyond conventional techniques .
  • Nd:YAG energy penetrates deep into dentinal tubules for powerful disinfection, reducing the risk of bacterial survival and reinfection .

Aesthetic and photobiomodulation

  • LightWalker systems support cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening, as well as photobiomodulation and pain relief for oral mucosa and TMJ disorders .
  • The technology’s precision and versatility extend to minimally invasive procedures for faster aesthetic results, improved healing, and enhanced patient comfort .
