32 exhibitors Greater New York Dental Meeting — Nov. 28, 2017 Fotona LightWalker: Two wavelengths, one device, endless versatility By Fotona Staff n In the growing market of commer- cially available hard- and soft-tissue lasers, the Fotona LightWalker™ still leads the charge with two proven wavelengths, Nd:YAG and Er:YAG, featuring unrivaled power and pre- cise pulse control, resulting in high levels of efficacy for a wide spectrum of procedures, according to Fotona, the company behind the product. The LightWalker offers a range of real applications for today’s dentists and the utility they demand for their practices now and in the future, according to the company. With high- speed tipped and tipless handpieces, clinical options are greatly expanded beyond traditional dentistry. LightWalker offers simplicity of use while maintaining a high stand- ard of dental treatments such as: • Endodontics Here in New York To learn more about the LightWalker and the NIGHTLASE, stop by the Fotona booth, No. 3433. • Implantology • Periodontics • Conservative dentistry • Soft-tissue surgery • Esthetic treatments AD 5 A laser procedure utolozong NIGHTLASE technology os performed on a patoent to help reduce snorong.

(Photo/Provoded by Fotona) • Snore and sleep • Facial esthetics NIGHTLASE NIGHTLASE® has recently taken the ever-evolving dental world by storm, according to Fotona, appearing in countless news broadcasts across the country for its fast, non-invasive way of increasing the quality of a patient’s sleep. Snoring and sleep disorders affect millions of Americans, both adults and children. The signs and symp- toms are the result of partial or com- plete collapse of the upper airway during sleep. Using the Fotona LightWalker in conjunction with this proprietary pro- tocol, Er:YAG laser energy is distrib- uted to heat the tissues of the soft pal- ate, causing a tightening effect, which helps keep the patient’s airway open. As shown in several medical stud- ies, NIGHTLASE has a significant success rate in producing a positive change in sleep patterns. PIPS When Fotona introduced the Photon- Induced Photoacoustic Streaming (PIPS™) technique, the LightWalker became a must-have endodontic pow- erhouse, according to the company. PIPS ushers endo into the modern era with a revolutionary solution for cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system. While traditional techniques leave some of a canal’s surface area unchanged, PIPS reaches almost 100 percent bacterial reduction. Not only does the LightWalker’s Er:YAG wave- length, which has the highest absorp- tion rate in water, uniquely position the device to achieve results of this magnitude, but according to the com- pany, the LightWalker is also the only system to feature 50-microsecond square pulse technology to maximize the propagation of the photo hydro acoustic shock waves. Fotona was founded in 1964, four years after the first laser was invented, and has sold more than 25,000 lasers with distribution in more than 60 countries.
