Published and soon-to-be published data indicate that

Er,Cr:YSGG minimally invasive surgical periodontal

laser therapy using the Waterlase MD “led to

significant improvements” in bleeding on probing,

probing depth, and “appeared to be advantageous

when compared to SRP alone, due to more efficient

attachment level restoration.” 6

“Deep Pocket Therapy is a highly effective, more aesthetic and more comfortable alternative to traditional surgical procedures for my patients.”

Bret Dyer, Periodontist Sugar Land, TX

Deep Pocket Therapy (DPT) with New Attachment™ using the Waterlase MD™ laser and

patented Radial Firing Perio Tip™ (RFPT) is a minimally invasive, FDA-cleared, therapy

for moderate to advanced gum disease that promotes cementum-mediated periodontal

ligament new-attachment to the root surface in the absence of long junctional epithelium.

The YSGG laser energy of the Waterlase MD is especially effective for minimally invasive

removal of both subgingival inflamed tissue and calculus deposits, to prepare the pocket

and surface of the tooth for healing and new attachment. The Waterlase MD has FDA

clearance for both of these indications.

The Waterlase MD will enhance your practice, distinguish you as a practitioner at the

forefront, and give patients and referring dentists a minimally invasive option for many

procedures. For enhanced clinical results, unmatched versatility, and technological

superiority, the Waterlase MD Turbo YSGG laser is the proven treatment choice.

The Total PeriodontalLaser solutionUnlike most lasers historically used in periodontal therapy, the Waterlase

MD Turbo YSGG laser is a true all-tissue laser. It is indicated for use on soft

tissue, bone and tooth structures, making it extremely versatile.*

SurGErY

Most periodontal lasers cut tissue using heat. The Waterlase MD combines

YSGG laser energy and a patented spray of water (HydroPhotonics™) to

cut soft tissue and bone without heat, with benefits reported such as less

swelling and patient post-op sensitivity, for a better patient experience and

greater case acceptance.

In soft tissue mode, the 2,780 nm Er,Cr:YSGG Waterlase MD laser energy

penetrates into tissues to seal blood vessels as it cuts, providing excellent

hemostasis, which in turn provides you with a better field of vision during

surgery.

impLANtS

If you place implants, the Waterlase MD can improve your productivity

through a range of related applications:

• Creating ideal emergence profile

• Bone resection

• Osteotomy

• Implant recovery

oSSEouS CrowN LENGthENiNG for SAmE DAY rEfErrALS

The minimally invasive nature of the Waterlase MD YSGG laser can help

minimize tissue displacement and flap preparation in osseous crown

lengthening. It assists in performing an externally beveled gingivectomy,

shaping the free gingival margin, troughing, and recontouring and

smoothing bone.4

Clinically andTechnically superiorby DesignThe 2,780 nm Er,Cr:YSGG wavelength of the Waterlase MD was developed

exclusively by Biolase for its superior effectiveness on all tissues you encounter.

For ease of use, ergonomics, and performance it is the most technologically

advanced laser system in periodontics:

• Soft tissue mode for cutting soft tissue with excellent hemostasis

• Hard tissue mode for cutting bone without thermal damage

• Contra-angle, 360° rotatable handpiece for superior comfort and access to

all areas of the oral cavity

• MD Gold handpiece for accurate micro-surgical procedures and the MD

Turbo handpiece for increased efficiency when cutting hard and soft tissues

• Ultra-bright, shadow-free illumination and red aiming beam enhance

visibility and tractability in the surgical field

thE rADiAL firiNG pErio tip™

Our patented Radial Firing Perio Tip (RFPT) is superior to tips traditionally used

by laser systems for periodontal therapy. The 14-mm long RFPT is based on

Biolase’s patented Endolase™ tips but features a unique design that precisely

tapers the end of the 500µm diameter tip. The result is primary radial emission

of laser energy with a portion of straight emission, and better access to the

narrow part of the periodontal pocket since the tip has no side edges.

Compared to most tips (and fibers) that only emit straight laser energy, the

RFPT’s radial energy provides more efficient irradiation of diseased or inflamed

soft tissue as well as calculus deposits and is advantageous in treating

moderate to advanced periodontal disease. And by decreasing the amount

of straight energy emission, potential damage to the periodontal ligament is

reduced when the tip is used vertically.

Additionally, we also offer the most comprehensive selection of traditional

straight firing tips for periodontal surgery, implant recovery, and osseous crown

lengthening, to help you treat all of your patients’ needs.
