    Thanks Andrew!

    Just fun stuff we’ve used our pulsed neodymiums over the years.

    They are complimentary to erbiums in that they can be diagnostic in many ways on hard tissue and then an erbium can be used for ablation of diseased or damaged enamel and dentin.

    I’ll post an example of this idea later today…..

    Bob – Was the patient anesthetized for this?

    Hi Kelly,

    Yes, the patient was anesthetized.

    I’ve left the camp of trying to do a lot of laser tx w/o anesthesia. After a few years of trying to make it happen, I found it was easier, faster, better for me to numb them up and get the job done ASAP. Especially when I have lots of stuff going on like I do.

    Well that sure is an interesting comment from someone who’s been doing this a long time!!!!!

    I pretty much left the same camp about 18 months ago but I’m still studying, listening, reading and thinking!
