By Convergent Dental Staff n The first CO2 laser system cleared by the FDA to cut hard and soft tissue, Solea™ has a unique wavelength at 9.3 microns that allows dentists to safely and effectively perform car- ies removal and cavity preparations, reducing the need for the drill. Solea performs differently from any other laser in several significant ways. Solea vaporizes enamel by emit- ting a wavelength that matches the peak absorption of laser energy into hydroxyapatite, resulting in smoother margins versus erbium lasers, which vaporize water within the tooth and essentially chip enamel away. The first computer-aided prepara- tion (CAP) system in dentistry, Solea integrates computer controls engi- neered for speed, precision and, most importantly, ease of use. A key component of Solea’s tech- nology is the use of galvos, computer- controlled motors that move mirrors inside the handpiece, manipulating the beam up to 10,000 times per sec- ond in precise patterns based on the selected tissue and spot size. Three additional key features — an easy-to-use touchscreen, the first and only variable speed foot pedal and a familiar handpiece — were designed to make the transition from a drill to a laser an intuitive process. Dentists can choose between dif- ferent spot sizes ranging from 0.25 mm to 1 mm and can select the desired tissue type (enamel, dentin or soft tissue) by simply pressing the touchscreen. Dentists can also control the speed with which they cut by adjusting the amount of pressure that they apply to the variable speed footpedal, which adjusts Solea’s pulse repetition rate from 20 to 10,000 Hz. Applying the latest advances in digital dental technology, Solea offers dentists a future of practicing den- tistry without the drill.
