mickey franklSpectatorHow does one know which composites are safe to remove with the Erbium laser and which not
Thanks for replies

mickey franklSpectatorThanks for all your supporting responses.
Just to update you,yesturday i recieved an invoice for the replacement of my Waterlase trunk fibre of £3800.00(=񙖰.00 USA).
I called the Biolase international sales manager JC ,told him the whole story,and he said I will not have to pay this,and that he will help me with training etc.
It is good to know that although the rep in England is useless,the head office in California do care and will help.
Thank again for your help and advice.

ASISpectatorRon, you are very humble indeed.
Allen, cool photo.
Glenn, you ought to use the Rolling Stones music as an intro in some of your presentations.
All the best to everyone. Happy Canada Day to one and all.

Robert Gregg DDSSpectatorHi Mickey,
I’ve found that those composites that are macrofilled (with large glass particles) are more problematic with Nd:YAG (and probably with Er:YAG) since neither cuts thru glass very well.
What it seems from my experience to vaporize best are the unfilled, the Glass ionomers, the microfilled, the “Hybrid” in that order.
Otherwise we are just heating up the glass and transferring that heat to the tooth and pulp.

Robert Gregg DDSSpectatorJust wanted to let evreyone including Dr. Byron Bush know that we are glad to see him sign up.

Good to see you Byron!

PatricioSpectatorMickey and Bob,
I cut an anterior composite out today which at times gave a significant amount of sparking. What would be the cause of this sparking? It seemed to happen when I was closer to the margin. Some stain was evident in this general area. For the most part I have not had a problem when using a a good tip and sufficent wattage. Is this sparking of a type which is likely to ruin the tip?Pat

PatPat,
I’ve ruined a tip that way.Now when I’m unsure of what the composite is (how old,particle size) I try to approach at enough of an angle so that if there is some ‘flash’ it doesn’t come straight back at the tip. So far, so good. Maybe give it a try.
