    I will be prepping a bridge and want to create an ovate pontic site in the soft tissue. I use the periolase. I would like to create the tissue contour that I want with said instrument. Do you guys have a recommended setting that you would like to see used?

    Diode Setting

    100 usec, 100 Hz 40 mj/pulse

    Define the area–smaller than what you want as an end result by 10-15% to allow for lateral thermal injury and recovery. Make “dots” where you want your border.

    Next lift and separate the epithelium from the subjacent connective tissue.

    Last, burn down 2-3mm into the CT using the “hot glass” effect accross the outlined area. You can alos use the side of the hot fiber to drag accross the outlined area.

    Hey, Matt!
    Is this all you do? I think you might have an internet forum problem!

    What kind of laser do you have? I’m thinking seriously about the periolase after listening to Dr. Gregg yesterday.

    Hey Jerry,
    I just got my Periolase and am reading up on “things.” I came across this thread and saw Matt’s name. I started laughing because I was thinking the same thing. How does he find time for all of this?
