The
Waterlase(TM) uses HydroKinetic® technology to perform a variety of
dental procedures, including cavity preparation, caries removal, tooth
etching and a wide range of soft tissue (gum) procedures. The
Waterlase(TM) has been cleared for HARD & SOFT tissue procedures
for both children and adults. Waterlase(TM) is distributed
domestically and internationally for both hard and soft tissue dental
applications.
What is the Waterlase(TM) ?
The Waterlase(TM) system is
a revolutionary new dental device that uses laser-energized water to cut
teeth.
BIOLASE received FDA
clearance to market the Waterlase(TM) Millennium® system for use on hard
tissue (teeth) on October 9, 1998.
This combination of laser
energy and water-spray, called "HydroKinetic® tissue cutting
system," is a patented technology invented by BIOLASE scientists and
engineers.
What are benefits of the
Waterlase(TM) ?
The Waterlase(TM)
significantly improves patients' comfort in the dentist's chair: 98.5% of
patients treated with the Waterlase(TM) system reported no discomfort
during the procedure in a randomized, double-blind clinical trial
conducted at the University of the Pacific.
Because it does not cause
heat or vibration in the mouth, Waterlase(TM) may ease the pain and
anxiety of patients who fear the vibration and high-pitched whine of
traditional drills. In contrast, the Waterlase(TM) makes a gentle
"tapping" noise.
Waterlase(TM) uses a
cool-water spray to cut teeth without generating heat. Conventional drills
and lasers can overheat teeth during procedures, inducing discomfort and
irreversibly damaging the soft tissue or pulp underneath.
How does Waterlase(TM) work?
The Waterlase(TM) system
uses laser-energized water to cut teeth.
The Waterlase(TM) emits a
laser beam that energizes a highly precise spray of air and water.
Water droplets absorb the
laser energy and become laser-energized water particles that, when
directed at the tooth, rapidly remove enamel, dentin and decay/caries.
TwiLite(TM)
The TwiLite(TM) dental diode
laser is designed and engineered in 1999, incorporating the newest
state-of-the-art technology for a broad range of dental cosmetic and soft
tissue procedures.
The TwiLite(TM) soft
tissue diode laser is a high powered diode laser equipped with robust
state-of-the-art features favored by dentist.

Many
people are looking for that slightly fuller shape for their chin
or a more sensous form of the lips. Just a touch of additional
volume can make an enormous difference in your apperance. Q-Med
Esthethics offers a complete solution for smoothing out folds and
