BOSTON, Mass., USA: In the growing market of commercially available hard- and soft-tissue lasers, the Fotona LightWalker still leads the charge with two proven wavelengths: Nd:YAG and Er:YAG, wavelengths with unrivaled power and precise pulse control, resulting in high levels of efficacy for a wide spectrum of procedures, according to Fotona, the company behind the product. The equipment was on display at the 2017 Yankee Dental Congress, held recently.
The LightWalker offers a range of real applications for today’s dentists and the true 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 standard of dental treatments such as:
- Endodontics
- Implantology
- Periodontics
- Conservative dentistry
- Soft-tissue surgery
- Esthetic treatments
- 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 symptoms are the result of partial or complete collapse of the upper airway during sleep. Using the Fotona LightWalker in conjunction with this proprietary protocol, Er:YAG laser energy is distributed to heat the tissues of the soft palate, causing a tightening effect, which helps to keep the patient’s airway open.
As shown in several medical studies, 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 powerhouse, 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 wavelength, which has the highest absorption rate in water, uniquely position the device to achieve results of this magnitude, but according to the company, 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, just four years after the first laser was invented, and has sold more than 25,000 lasers around the world with distribution in more than 60 countries. Fotona produces award-winning lasers in dentistry, esthetics, dermatology, gynecology and surgery. Advanced R&D, combined with in-house manufacturing, ensures levels of quality, reliability, ease-of-use and durability. Fotona is dedicated to living up to its motto of “Choose Perfection.”
