Clinical Application
of Laser Softcare™
Clinical Application Step by Step
- Calculus buildup causes epithelium to become inflamed, infected, and a pocket develops.
- Perio probe indicates excessive pocket depth and bleeding.
- Ultrasonic scaler used by hygienist to remove calculus on the root surface.
- Hand instruments used by hygienist to remove remaining calculus.
- Dentist applies laser radiation at 120 µsec pulse width vaporizing epithelial lining, debriding pocket (sulcular debridement), and achieving coagulation. If excessive bleeding is present 300 µsec* pulse width, is used for achieving coagulation.
- The tissue is compressed against the root surface allowing a stable clot to form.
*Full width half maximum.
