exhibitors 11Chicago Midwinter Meeting — February 27, 2015 announced the addition of a new extra coarse cutting 1.25 mm-XC spot size to Solea, the first FDA-approved, CO2 9.3-micron dental laser for hard and soft tissue. This new spot size increases Solea’sspeedbyafactoroffour,which makes it easier than ever to quickly remove large amounts of tooth struc- ture at or above drill speed. Dentists can use Solea’s touchscreen interface to switch between spot sizes with a finger tap to perform anesthesia-free and blood-free procedures. The 1.25 mm-XC spot size is being offered as a free software upgrade to all current Solea dentists and will be included in all new units. For years, dentists have been forced to decide between the speed of traditional drills or the improved patient experience offered by dental lasers. With Solea, practitioners no longer need to choose between speed and patient experience.

The 1.25 mm-XC spot size adds a new high-end capability for rapidly removing thick enamel for crown preparations and large fillings. Solea dentists have reported performing six or more additional procedures per day as a result of being able to treat patients without anesthesia or spend- ing time controlling bleeding. The new 1.25 mm-XC spot size now extends that capability even fur- ther with its dramatically increased speed. “The fastest dental laser on the market just got faster,” said Conver- gent Dental CEO Michael Cataldo. “TheXCspotsizeisthelatestexam- ple of our commitment to continu- ous innovation and our customers’ success.
