Diode Settings

[Anonymous]

My TwiLite just arrived and soon Biolase will be coming to do the presets. Can you share what you have found to be most useful to have the presets programmed at?
Thanks

Been trying to use the Lasersmile more often. Been doing the decontamination and the degranulation as shown by the trainers. Have seen some nice results with a couple initial patients.
Had a patient this week that need periodontal sx. I did the degranuation on selected sites. Then flapped using the Lasersmile. I was rather surprised by the amount of granulation tissue still present. The tip was activated and with an open flap it still took a while to degranulate the area. Makes me wonder about my other cases!
Anyone seen this?

As I have done more of these the obvious hit me between the eyes. Sure I have granulation tissue left. Waving the laser fiber around in a pocket will allow some of the granulation tissue to coagulate and come out of the pocket with the fiber. The rest stays in the pocket as a coagulated clump. It curretts out quickly and easly now that it is coagulated.
