Diode Laser

Overview
A Diode Laser is a soft-tissue dental laser used for minimally invasive procedures such as cutting, coagulation, and sterilization of oral tissues. It operates typically in the 810–980 nm wavelength range, allowing precise interaction with soft tissues while minimizing damage to surrounding areas.

These lasers are compact, portable, and widely used in modern dentistry due to their efficiency and patient comfort.

Key Features

• Soft Tissue Precision: Accurate cutting and contouring with minimal trauma
• Minimal Bleeding: Provides instant coagulation during procedures
• Portable & Compact Design: Easy to handle and move between operatories
• Wide Wavelength Range (810–980 nm): Suitable for multiple dental treatments
• User-Friendly Interface: Modern units come with touchscreen and preset modes

Applications

• Gingivectomy & gingivoplasty
• Periodontal pocket disinfection
• Frenectomy & operculectomy
• Soft tissue crown lengthening
• Root canal disinfection
• Teeth whitening activation

Diode lasers are mainly used for soft tissue procedures like cutting, excising, and coagulating gingiva.
