CHICAGO, IL, USA: For those dentists who have wanted to offer laser treatment to their patients but have held back because of the expense of the equipment, now there is an answer. The Picasso Lite is a soft tissue dental laser featuring an ultra-compact, lightweight design. It is manufactured by AMD LASERS, a company based in Indianapolis that was founded by Alan Miller. (AMD stands for Alan Miller Designs.)
Intended to replace the archaic use of scalpels and electro-surge in the treatment of soft tissue, the Picasso Lite features 2.5 watts of power, an adjustable aiming beam and three customizable presets. Perhaps the best thing about the Picasso Lite is its affordable price.
“Not only do we have the best price, we also have the best warranty,” said Scott Mahnken, who recently joined AMD LASERS as director of sales and marketing, during an interview with Dental Tribune at the Midwinter Meeting in Chicago, IL, USA.
“Quality is very important to us,” he said.
Picasso Lite cuts and coagulates tissue with reduced trauma, bleeding and necrosis of tissue and is used for soft tissue surgery, including troughing, gingivectomies, frenectomies, exposing implants/teeth/ortho brackets, and treating aphthous ulcers and herpetic lesions. The Picasso Lite is ideal for performing 98 per cent of soft tissue procedures with a diode laser, as well as desensitizing procedures like herpetic lesions, aphthous ulcers, and for disinfecting bacteria as an adjunct to perio procedures.
New from AMD LASERS are disposable tips that can be used instead of the fiber optic cable, making procedures even more convenient.
The Picasso Lite comes with a setup DVD, online laser certification, accessories and an international adapter.
Mahnken said that personalized, one-on-one training is also available to dentists who purchase the Picasso Lite. In addition, he said, each dental practice with a Picasso Lite is assigned a dental professional to assist with ongoing training.
A number of respected opinion leaders are singing the praises of the Picasso Lite.
“Picasso is very easy to incorporate into every practice, easy to use, and extends the practice’s range of services,” said George Freedman, DDS, and international lecturer and author.
“I think every dentist should have a diode laser,” said Ross Nash, DDS, of the Nash Institute. “AMD LASERS has made it affordable for all. Picasso is even more impressive for its remarkably low price.”
“The Picasso is small enough, yet powerful enough for every application that a diode can perform,” said Ron Kaminer, DDS, and international lecturer.
More information about the Picasso Lite is available from AMD LASERS.
