Mark and members,
Is there any information (or in your experience) to indicate that the numbing of a tooth is proportional to the watts applied and the time of application.
If this is the case would it follow that a tooth which is a little sensitive to the laser in dentin can be made predicably less sensitive by an additional application of de focusing at higher watts and a longer time?
Repaired a second molar today primarily with the drill after “numbing it with the laser”. Kind of sweet I thought. He did not want to be anesthetized. Who need it anyway.
