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.
