An amazing transformation is occurring in dentistry with a technology

eakthrough that provides dentists with the capability to perform a wide range of

clinical procedures with improved patient outcomes, less trauma, reduced post-op

complications and in most cases with no need for injections. Plus, this new

technology greatly expands the scope of procedures a dentist can offer their

patients¹.

Dentists are now successfully integrating Er,Cr:YSGG laser technology

(Waterlase� YSGG laser, BIOLASE Technology, Inc.) into practice with the

oadest indications for use of any other laser in medicine or dentistry².

While lasers have been involved in dentistry for more than 20 years, until recently,

no single laser had been cleared for and is capable for use on all oral tissues,

including hard tissue, soft tissue, endo, perio, and bone. That all changed with the introduction of the YSGG laser³.
