Bohemia, NY, Immediate Release – The Spectralase Compact Diode Laser from Dentsply GAC enables today’s orthodontist to easily and seamlessly incorporate the benefits of soft-tissue diode technology into their practice. Simple, safe and cost-effective, the Spectralase can offer significant time savings in a variety of applications, as well as pinpoint control and accuracy for outstanding results even in the most complex or delicate procedures.

“With Spectralase, procedures are completed in little time – with minimal or no bleeding, swelling or discomfort – often resulting in improved treatment efficiencies and happier patients.,” according to John Piervencenti, Product Manager, Dentsply GAC. The Spectralase gently vaporizes away target tissue with just a few simple brush strokes, instantly removing gingival tissues to expose tooth surfaces for bonding. It is ideal, John explains, for such applications as simple tooth exposure, aesthetic recontouring, reduced hyperplasia, TAD clearance and access gingivectomy.

Improved patient outcomes, comprehensive turnkey approach

The Spectralase is designed to be easy to use, as well as easily incorporated into an orthodontic practice. One complementary online webinar is included with the system, and additional online as well as advanced live-patient courses are available for orthodontists and their staff.

“The Spectralase allows you to provide better and quicker treatment with the added benefits of a smaller size, more easily-manipulated hand-piece, three watts of power and better fiber management than other 810nm diode lasers,” says Dr. Lou Chmura, who practices in Marshall, Mich. Dr, Chimura is one of more than 400 orthodontists nationwide who use the Spectralase dental diode laser technology.

Developed by George Bekov, Ph.D., a renowned laser physicist with more than 30 years’ experience, the Spectralase is engineered to be user-friendly, reliable and economical. It is manufactured by Spectrum International, an innovator in the dental laser business for more than a decade.
