Biberach/Riss, 21/05/2007 - At IDS 2007, KaVo presents to the market its new GENTLEray 980, a diode laser for soft tissue surgery, decontamination procedures in periodontics and endodontics, as well as for laser-assisted bleaching. The laser is distinguished by an especially user-friendly software, and is available in two versions.
The diode laser GENTLEray 980 works with laser light in a wavelength of 980nm which shows minimum absorption in water and high absorption in haemoglobin and melanin. Classical operating areas for the new KaVo laser are soft tissue surgery with good coagulation effect, disinfection of tissue by the treatment of bacterial infection, laser-supported sulcus sterilisation or endodontics, as well as laser-assisted bleaching. The KaVo GENTLEray 980 Laser is available in two versions – Classic und Premium.
The GENTLEray 980 Classic provides a performance of 6 Watt cw, is delivered with a hand-piece containing 300µm fibres as standard, and can be optionally upgraded to the Premium variation. The GENTLEray 980 Premium is designed for better patient comfort and a faster healing process with a water cooling system (peristaltic pump). This reduces thermal damage, thereby enabling less painful treatment with a reduction of post-operative discomfort.
With the aid of the water supply, blood particles remaining after the SRP are rinsed from the pocket, so that as well as the laser-assisted sulcus sterilisation, disepithialization in the pockets can take place more efficiently. Furthermore, the GENTLEray 980 Premium diode laser provides a higher performance (7 Watt cw, 12 Watt peak), and the possibility of micro-pulsation at a frequency of up to 20.000 Hz. The increased treatment efficiency of the Premium variation allows for faster procedures and shortened exposure times to the laser beams. Apart from the water cooling, the pulsating application of the laser beam can further reduce undesirable thermal side effects, taking into consideration the tissue-specific relaxation time.
Operation of the small, lightweight KaVo GENTLEray 980 diode laser, which can be employed for 30 preset indication-specific conditions, takes place simply and hygienically via the touch-screen display. Also new is a software-aided help function with application recommendations, which is of great assistance to the dentist.
In comparison to conventional therapy, treatment with the GENTLEray 980 ensures only light bleeding, reduced swellings and in the course of time, just minor post-operative discomfort as well as the reduced need for pain relievers. This results in comfortable, painless therapy for the patient and a stress-free treatment situation for the operator and the practice team.

Biberach/Riss, 21/05/2007 - At IDS 2007 KaVo presented the world premiere of the new caries contact-handpiece 2063 for the KEY Laser 3. It is the first contact-handpiece in the world for hard tissue lasers which allows direct contact to tooth surfaces during treatment.
With the new KaVo caries contact-handpiece 2063 for the Er:YAG Laser KEY 3, it is now possible for the first time to tangibly remove carious substance by direct contact with the tooth surface, without damaging the laser head. The well-known Feedback System, as used by the KEY Laser 3 in periodontics, can also be utilized to assist in the removal of caries. The unique Feedback System, based on laser fluorescence, is a special combination of diagnostic and therapy systems. It is able to detect not only damaged tooth substance, but also concretions.
A satisfactory cooling of the preparation site at all angles is achieved by the patented water supply system. The pain sensitivity for the patient can thereby be additionally reduced. An upgrade is available so that all KEY Laser 3 units currently on the market can be modified for the usage of the new caries contact-handpiece.
Together with three further handpieces, the KaVo KEY Laser 3 makes possible a protective, effective and painless application in periodontics, restorative dentistry, endodontics, peri-implantitis therapy, and surgery. With its numerous indications, including those approved by the FDA, this laser offers the broadest operational spectrum of all laser systems to be found on the market.
All functions of the laser can be controlled by the multi-function foot controller or by menu control at the touch screen. Thanks to the integrated adjustable spray supply, the flexibility of the light conducting fibres, the roller bearings and a simple connection to an available electrical socket, the laser is mobile and immediately ready for operation.
