Dental Diode Laser in Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry is the use of lasers to treat a number of different dental conditions. It became commercially used in clinical dental practice for procedures involving tooth tissue in 1989.

In today’s age, laser dentistry is often preferred by patients as it is more comfortable, effective, and also affordable compared to other dental treatments…

To be specific, laser dentistry refers to light energy that is a thin beam of extremely focused light, exposed to a particular tissue so that it can be molded or eliminated from the mouth. Throughout the world, laser dentistry is being used for conducting numerous treatments, ranging from simple procedures to rather complex dental procedures.

Innovative Three Wavelengths 450nm + 650nm + 980nm In Laser Dentistry

Each of the major biological chromophores has an absorption spectra. The figure shows penetration depth of light is strongly dependent on wavelength.

Compared to traditional infrared laser(810nm/980nm), which is only based on water absorption and not on hemoglobin absorption, Berylas dental laser has so many surgical advances by using 450nm as its main wavelength. lt provides more safety, precision, pain relief, and faster healing in the treatment.

450nm 650nm 980nm Laser

450nm Wavelength

The 450nm blue laser is a perfect wavelength for soft-tissue surgical procedures, such as soft-tissue cutting, ablation, coagulation, and incision. Because of the extraordinary absorption in hemoglobin and non-absorption in the water of the 450nm blue laser, there is almost no thermal damage and more precise cutting in the treatment with no side effects for patients.

650nm Wavelength

The 650nm laser can be well absorbed by melanin, ensuring a high close of energy on the surface region. it is often used for low-level therapy (LLLT) as it is a great wavelength for tissue regeneration, anti-inflammation, wound healing, and fast scarring.

980nm Wavelength

The traditional 980nm laser with high absorption in water and high thermal effects has excellent vaporization capacity, hemostasis, and reduced possibility of tissue necrosis, so it performs efficiently in soft-tissue cutting, periodontal diseases, and TMD therapy.
