What laser used?Settings?Why did you decide to leave the calculus?

Welcome to the board.

I left  the calculus  to see if ti would affect healing  obviuosly it didnt…waterlase setting was at 1.25 with 15 air and 13 water

Ron K,
Why not remove calculus and use the watelase in the pockets to see what it would do with this hopeless tooth( since you weren’t extracting anyway)?

[whitertth]

i did do that after….i just wanted to see even in the presence of an irritant how would my healing be….so far so good…..

I wouldn’t call that tooth hopeless. It is healing nicely, the laser created a “closed system”, now sit back and watch the bone fill in.

What type of laser and what power and parameters did you use?

[whitertth]

waterlase as indicated…15 air/13 water….. this is a one week post op…will post other photos when i see patient

Ron, Welcome to the forum. Everyone, I met Ron in NYC last weekend at the Greater NY meeting. He is a great asset to our forum. He has a LOT of laser experience to share, so ask him questions also. He uses a Waterlase, and is very excited as well. I have also treated an abcess like this with GREAT success. Flew by the seat of my pants on it, and it worked great. Awesome stuff Ron, keep up the posts!

[whitertth]
