    Bob, Thanks. I have the Lasersmile. Usually in the Pulsed mode with 20 sec duration and 20 sec interval at 1.5W. I have been trying to go into a periodontal pocket and remove granulation tissue , like in curretage. So far I might as well be pissing into the wind. It would be nice to degranulate a pocket prior to the use of a perioscope. It would make visiblity much easier.

    Hi Al,

    Yes, I did–for my PerioLase MVP-7.  But that’s because I live and practice in the same state as the manufacturer (Millennium Dental).

    Now, if I lived in Nevada or Florida or ANY other state other than where the manufacturer is located, AND there is no “nexus” to that state, I would not have to pay sales tax.

    If their is a nexus through the existance of another sales office, or a sales rep that lives in that state–then I would also have to pay sales tax in that instance.

    That’s my limited understanding of sales tax requirements.

    Hi David,

    Do you mean 0.20 seconds?

    Anyway, try continuous wave instead of pulsed with your diode, and “activate” your tip against a tongue blade or something. See if that dries up your pocket.

    Andy , I am not a good person to as this question . Go to http://www.rwebstudio.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard//topic.cgi?forum=24&topic=32&start=0

    That is a good place to start. I am still trying to fiqure the perio tx out. I have several patients that I am doing as Ron suggested. In general it seems to be working well with only a few relapses.

    You are right .20 sec. I do activate the tip at these settings. I have tried doing this with continuous using an activated tip. It appears to be too hot.

    David,

    That is the challenge with CW diodes–finding the happy medium between too hot and no good clinical effect.

    David,

    Try 1.0CW and if the tissue is fibrous bump it up to 1.1 or 1.2 with an activated tip.

    Did you notice how many responses you got to the ‘pulse’ question. I knew they’d  come just that fast and furious with how many people understand pulse duration, duty cycle, etc 😉

    Using the Periolase MVP 7 I’m starting to get a little understanding of the pulse thing (thanks Bob&Del) but it sure can get complicated when you start adding in focused vs defocused, intervals, peak and average powers.
