It is particularly indicated for both periodontal work – where it can sterilise the pocket killing the bacteria – also for endodontic work where it can sterilise the root canal. The laser energy is fibre delivered - the smallest available fibre being 200 microns. The GaAlAs laser has a wavelength that makes it an ideal way to do minor oral surgery. Using this laser, an area can be cut with localised haemostasis. Not only does the laser cut but it also sterilises the tissues as well making for good post-operative results. The elexxion Pico Laser can be used forToothWhitening (of both vital and non- vital teeth). Dr Powell said of the elexxion pico Laser: “This is a super unit, neat compact and easy to use.” The elexxion Pico Laser is easy to operate. The Laser fibre delivery system allows free movement of the hand-piece.

VarioSurg users sited numerous benefits including the bright LED handpiece, which illuminates the operating field very clearly and, unlike some other machines, it does not get hot with prolonged usage. They also appreciated the efficient, gentle bone cutting delivered by the VarioSurg in comparison to drills, as the patient experiences much less pain and swelling in the post-op period, and that the incidence of complications are very low. Additionally users said the display was intuitive to use and very easy to navigate during surgery. As users stated the NSK VarioSurg delivers strong, precise cutting power and an ultrasonic approach to surgery that reduces heat generation and minimizes osteonecrosis. This is enhanced by TiN (Titanium Nitride) coated bone cutting tips, increasing cutting efficiency and leaving a sharp surface that aids bone formation.
