Hey, people in laser dentistry land, isn’t anyone doing desensization at all?

I am really interested in your input.

Hi Andrew,

You can try using .25Watt/11% Air/0% water(Waterlase)

Start from a distance of 6mm from the sensitive surface, lase for about 10 second. Advance 1mm and lase for another 10 seconds. Repeat until your tip is 3mm close. Finish off at 2.5mm for another 10 seconds.

Do not advance if patient shows signs of discomfort.

Results are amazing. I figure it is long lasting too. Not enough cases to follow up yet.

Take care,

Wai

Hi Wai & David,

Wai, welcome to the forum.

Thanks guys for your input. The Delight I have goes as low as 10Hz and 30 mj which work out to .3 W, which is just .05 W higher than the Waterlase.

I’ll try that on the next one.

Thanks again.

Andrew
