Laser Dentistry

The UltraSpeed CO2 laser offers the practitioner the ultimate in soft tissue therapies and treatments in all areas of General Dentistry, Oral/Maxillofacial Surgery, Periodontics, Endodontics, and Implantology.

Through its innovative design, its technical capabilities, and its versatile user programs, this laser has become the “workhorse” in the dental practice. The UltraSpeed CO2 is the only CO2 laser that incorporates all facilities for absolute accuracy in micro-surgical applications coupled with total efficiency in the speed of energy transmission, resulting in optimal clinical conditions and prognoses for post-operative recovery. 84 pre-programmed procedures make the learning curve very easy!

The benefits and safety of the CO2 laser have been well documented in research over many years. The high absorption rate in water always guarantees absolute safety and a patient friendly therapy. Due to its minimal absorption depth, underlying or surrounding tissue structures cannot be damaged or compromised. Most surgical procedures can be performed with less anesthetics and perfect coagulation, resulting in minimal post-operative pain and swelling. The bacterialcidal properties have been well documented. The added benefits of an optimal and predictable recovery gives the practitioner and patient security and assurance. The CO2 laser adds previously unknown problem solving skills to the dental practice.
