Class V on lower third molar

[ASI]

Hi All,

Is eye protection necessary with the Waterlase? The rep says it is not needed. How can this be, if it is an Erbium:YAG like the Delight?

You should wear eye protection, there is argument about the safe distance that is needed to get away from the laser ( 8-14 inches is one estimate) but remember this that the laser energy from the Erbium YSGG laser is absorbed by water in the cornea and lens……..

Is it worth the risk. I wouldnt take the chance.
