BIOLASE, a leading dental laser manufacturer and distributor — and distributor of NewTom and 3Shape TRIOS technologies in North America — will showcase its full line of award-winning laser systems, 3-D cone-beam devices and digital intraoral scanning technology at all major and regional 2013 trade events, beginning with Yankee Dental Congress in late January.

The company will feature the products in its new Total Technology Pavilion, a large space with functioning equipment to allow hands-on demonstrations and discussion of the full range of applications. The pavilion also features an overview presentation of the total-technology concept, along with brief presentations by practicing dentists who have deployed such technologies in their practices.

“We are proud to present the Total Technology Pavilion at the Yankee Dental Congress and beyond,” said John Bernhard, director of marketing at BIOLASE. “It represents the collective efforts of multiple teams to create an environment where dental professionals can spend time with these groundbreaking technologies to gain an understanding of their applications in the dental clinic.”

EPIC standard set for diode lasers

New to the Total Technology Pavilion this year is the EPIC Total Diode Solution, the newest laser from BIOLASE. It’s described as being packed with one category-exclusive feature after another, setting a new standard in diode laser performance and value. A graphical touchscreen gives dentists fingertip access to as many as 20 common soft-tissue procedure presets — plus 20-minute full-mouth whitening and FDA-cleared temporary pain relief.

Additionally, EPIC can be a financial boon for many practices because of its integrated, FDA-cleared protocols for laser hygiene and perio as an adjunct to scaling and root planning. Plus, a new ComfortPulse setting reduces pulse length to as little as one ten-millionth of a second to avoid heat build-up at the surgical site — for fast tissue cutting with less patient discomfort.

3Shape TRIOS digital scanner, full range of WaterLase all-tissue lasers

Another addition to the Technology Pavilion is the 3Shape TRIOS digital intraoral scanner system. The TRIOS digital solution, which includes a hand-held scanner, operator's control cart and intuitive software, provides faster impression taking, improved accuracy and clinical results, reduced need for retakes and less adjustment and grinding. TRIOS' unique features include: spray-free scanning; high accuracy optimized for an extensive range of indications; clinical scan validation; online communication with the dental lab; and intuitive Smart-Touch user interfacing.

Other products in the pavilion include WaterLase iPlus, WaterLase MDX and WaterLase MD Turbo, the company’s full range of all-tissue laser devices. WaterLase iPlus represents a pinnacle of 20 years of research to improve cutting speed to match that of a high-speed drill, with a fraction of the discomfort and ancillary challenges a dental drill creates, such as microfactures, smear layer and more.

The WaterLase MDX and WaterLase MD Turbo are described as being ideal for practices seeking a basic, lower-cost entry point for all-tissue laser dentistry. “Although the WaterLase MD platform was first released in 2004, there have been many improvements and refinements, including a more flexible fiber, faster-cutting handpieces and many other important improvements,” said Dmitri Boutoussov, BIOLASE chief technology officer and long-time head of the company’s innovative R&D department.

NewTom compact CBCT technology

Finally, the Total Technology Pavilion has full-size models of NewTom Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technology. The technology is relatively new to dentistry and is a more compact version of standard medical CT imaging that uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to obtain a multitude of radiographs that construct digital 3-D models of maxillofacial anatomies.

The NewTom VGi is reported to have the finest image quality of any CBCT system in dentistry, with a minimal dose of radiation to patients. Dentists using the NewTom CBCT technology report increased treatment plan acceptance, improved diagnostic capabilities and other advantages.
