980 nm for deep troughing

[dkimmel]

Glenn nice case. Which diode laser is this and how is the water delivered?
That scope does make things a bunch easier to see!

How are you posting your photos? Everytime I post Ron has to go back and fix them as they are all over the page!!!

Hi David: this is the Biolitec 980nm diode. The water is delivered through the air/water syringe in my case but they do make a special handpiece which has an irrigation module to it that I dont have.

The scope does help a whole bunch with viewing things.

I put my photos into a collage format with a side program called Fotoslate 3.0 which is part of ACDSee.

I put 8 photos into one collage and when resized down a little comes out at less than 100 kb for the 8 photos with text.

Thats how I get the text photos and everything into one pic, its a collage format.

Hi Glenn,

Beautiful stuff again.

Did you use the same setting for the overall troughing as you did for the distal area? How do you like the 980 so far compared to the Diodent?

Glenn – Great pics. I love your approach to #1 – leaving the marginal ridge intact. I’ve got to get a scope!

Just curious – were any diagnodent readings taken on the occlusal of #1? Those grooves look scary.

Keep up the great work. Every time I see one of your picture series with the scope, I know I need to head in that direction.

Thanks for the motivation.

Hi Kelly……..I could hardly get back there with the scope let alone the diagnodent but the tooth does need an occlusal.

I put the crown in on the molar…nice healing huh……

I will do the occlusal on the molar ( she didnt want it done today) , next month or so.

Hope you like it. As for the scope , it is a marvelous tool.
