The PerioLase Nd:YAG Pulsed Dental Laser System is intended for use in laser surgery procedures for ablation, incision, excision, vaporization, and coagulation of soft tissues in specialties such as general and cosmetic dentistry, oral, maxillofacial, and cosmetic surgery, otolaryngology / ENT surgery, arthroscopy, dermatology and plastic surgery, gastroenterology, general surgery, gynecology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, podiatry, pulmonary surgery, and urology.
Oropharyngeal / Dental Surgery
• Abscess incision and drainage
• Aphthous ulcers treatment
• Biopsies, incisional and excisional
• Excision and ablation of benign lesions and conditions
• Excision and vaporization of herpes simplex I and II
• Exposure of unerupted / partially erupted teeth
• Facilitation of subgingival calculus removal
• Fibroma removal
• Frenectomy
• Frenotomy
• Gingival incision and excision
• Gingival troughing for crown impressions
• Gingivectomy
• Gingivoplasty
• Hemostasis
• Hemostatic assistance
• Implant recovery
• Incision of infection when used with antibiotic therapy
• Laser-assisted new attachment procedure (cementum-mediated periodontal ligament new-attachment to the root surface in the absence of long junctional epithelium)
• Laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP)
• Lesion (tumor) removal
• Leukoplakia
• Modification of the dentin surface, including increasing the mineral and decreasing the organic composition of the dentin surface, reducing bacteria on the dentin surface, improving the shear bond strength of composite resin, reducing the adhesive failure of composite resin, and removing demineralized dentin surfaces
• Operculectomy
• Oral papillectomy
• Periodontal regeneration – true regeneration of the attachment apparatus (new cementum, new periodontal ligament, and new alveolar bone) on a previously diseased root surface when used specifically in the LANAP® Protocol
• Pulpotomy
• Pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal therapy
• Reduction of denture hyperplasia
• Reduction of gingival hypertrophy
• Removal of filling material such as gutta percha or resin as an adjunct treatment during root canal retreatment
• Removal of post-surgical granulations
• Selective ablation of enamel (first degree) caries removal
• Soft tissue crown lengthening
• Sulcular debridement or soft tissue curettage (removal of diseased or inflamed soft tissue in the periodontal pocket) to improve clinical indices including gingival index, gingival bleeding index, probe depth, attachment level or loss, and tooth mobility
• Tissue retraction for impression
• Vestibuloplasty
