Chris,
Welcome to the Board.
I’ve been an OpusDuo Erbium user for 3 years.
It is a workhorse laser. The pre-sets are pretty much on the mark, when used with a 800 or 1000micron Saphire contact tip.
Erbium= Frenectomy 500mJ 12 Hz w/ water spray
I don’t use a CO2, I use an Nd:YAG for most soft tissue procedures. I have Frenectomy cases on this link for both lasers. Glenn also has lingual frenectomy cases posted (good stuff)_
The pre-treatment anethesia is more of a Waterlase marketing thing. I don’t see the need for anethesia for most restorative procedures, if sensitive, decrease the Hz with your foot pedal, decrease the mJ or start defocused and then move into contact.
Check out old posts for procedures and settings.
Get back with any questions.
Jeff
