What makes the PowerLase® AT Er:YAG perfect for PIPS™?

The PowerLase® AT Er:YAG laser energy is uniquely suited for optimum performance of PIPS™ because:

1. Of the two Erbium laser wavelengths used in dentistry, Er:YAG laser energy has the highest absorption rate in water.
2. The super short, 50 microseconds pulse duration available on the PowerLase® AT, combined with the efficient design of the PIPS™ tip, allows the lowest possible energy per pulse (millijoules) and repetition rate (hertz), minimizing thermal effects and maximizing the propagation of the PIPS™ shock waves.
3. Sub-ablative power levels eliminate the risks of ledging and demineralization.
