Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | October 2016 a9 INDUSTRY NEWS AD By BIOLASE Staff The flagship Waterlase system is the iPlus™, an innovative laser system that enables dentists to complete many com- mon dental procedures using minimally invasive laser energy combined with a fine water spray to gently remove hard and soft tissue. The latest model now incorporates REPAIR Perio and REPAIR Implant, two power laser-based protocols for managing early to moderate periodontitis and peri- implantitis in a general dental setting. Both protocols leverage the gentle remov- al of diseased tissue and calculus. See the protocols in action in the BIOLASE booth, No. 1638, in the exhibit hall at ADA 2016 – America’s Dental Meeting, Oct. 20-24, in Denver and at the 2016 International As- sociation of Physiologic Aesthetics meet- ing, Oct. 13–15, in Las Vegas. For tooth cutting, the WaterLase iPlus helps to eliminate microfractures associ- ated with the traditional dental drill, as well as thermal damage and risks of cross- contamination. The laser’s precision en- ables minimally invasive treatment with less removal of healthy tooth structure and soft tissues. For soft tissue, the Water- Lase iPlus ablates the target tissue layer by layer, which, according to the literature, enables the dental professional to per- form oral surgeries with less bleeding, dy- namic tissue response and faster healing. WaterLase iPlus can improve efficiency in a practice with a wide range of benefits, including performing many restorative procedures without anesthetic. By elimi- nating the time required for the onset of anesthetic, the dentist and staff can effi- ciently move from patient to patient, stay- ing on time and adding to the bottom line. Revenue per-chair, per-day can markedly increase with the WaterLase iPlus. Also, a WaterLase practice can generate more income per patient-visit. Because anesthetic is not required in most cases, the dentist can address more of a patient’s clinical needs by working in all four quad- rants. Also, WaterLase iPlus can offer alternative treatment modalities when traditional protocols are not address- ing conditions such as deep periodontal pockets, endodontics and more. Fewer re- call appointments means fewer appoint- ments falling through the cracks, result- ing in greater efficiency for both practice and patient. Additionally, WaterLase iPlus is indicated for both periodontal and endodontic procedures, so enterprising Innovatively positioned for the general dental practice: the WaterLase iPlus laser system. Photo/Provided by BIOLASE Waterlase uses simple laser protocols to complete perio and implant procedures general dentists can keep more of those cases within their practice. Dental professionals who have successfully integrated Water- Lase iPlus into their practice can realize more than just enhanced clinical outcomes and greater pro- ductivity. Independent research shows that WaterLase iPlus own- ers report a renewed passion for theircraftandgreaterenjoyment in addressing the clinical needs of their patients. By reducing chair time, improving clinical results and enhancing the overall management of patient-flow through a practice, WaterLase iPlus can become the cornerstone of the 21st-centu- ry dental office. WaterLase iPlus is indicated for a wide range of soft- and hard-tissue treatments, including comprehensive periodontal procedures (such as deep pocket therapy with new attachment and subgingival calculus removal) and endodontic treat- ment (such as root canal shaping and cleaning). WaterLase iPlus delivers 10 watts of power and up to 100 pulses per second for fast, efficient cutting with lit- tle or no anesthetic required. An illumi- nated, compact, contra-angle handpiece allows precise control and movement of the laser tip around the treatment site as well as easy access to all areas of the oral cavity. WaterLase iPlus is operated via an intuitive graphical touchscreen. There are no settings to program or tip guides to consult. The system includes a docking station for an iLase 940 nm diode laser. A comprehensive selection of tips, accesso- ries and upgrades are available. A full regi- men of introductory and advanced train- ing is included with each WaterLase iPlus.
