NEW YORK, NY, USA/LEIPZIG, Germany: The US-based manufacturer AMD LASERS recently launched the Picasso Lite in dental markets worldwide. As a first in the industry, this new soft-tissue dental laser will be able to use convenient disposable tips or a low-cost strippable fibre for a wide range of applications, the company said in a press release in January. Picasso Lite is aimed at dental hygienists and dentists who have no or little experience with dental lasers.

Dentists can use Picasso Lite for various kinds of soft-tissue surgery, including gingivectomies, frenectomies, troughing, exposing implants/teeth/orthodontic brackets, and treating aphthous ulcers and herpetic lesions. According to the company, it cuts and coagulates tissue with reduced trauma, bleeding and necrosis of tissue.

Picasso Lite, which is priced at US$2,495, comes with a set-up DVD, online laser certification, accessories and a world power adapter. AMD offers a two-year warranty on all its products.
