13 Waterlase MD Turbo Provides significant advantages for both Doctors and Patients vs. Traditional Instrumentation l Waterlase MD Turbo Indication Traditional Instrumentation No heat, high pitch ,noise or vibration , fractures & minimal or no pain with greatly reduced need for injection of anesthetic Drilling teeth for cavity preps Drill/bur causes heat, vibration and fracturing that requires injections for most cavities Rapid, clean cut, no heat, minimally invasive, conserves bone for harvesting Cutting Bone Drill causes thermal damage, more bleeding Disinfects canal 2-3X more effective than traditional therapy Root Canal Rotary instruments and files create smear layer Safely removes soft tissue with no bleeding, reduced swelling and inflammation and no need for injectionsPredictable end points Soft Tissue Scalpel causes bleeding, pain, post-op swelling, longer recovery times, usually requires stitchesElectrosurgery - large zone of thermal necrosis, longer recovery time, unpredictable results, damage to surrounding soft tissue. Contraindicated around metal, pacemakers, dental implants, etc. Removes calculus & plaque with minimal loss of healthy tooth structure. Easily accesses difficult to reach pockets, safe on nearby soft tissue, bone Scaling & Root Planing Ultrasonics & Hand Instruments remove more healthy tooth structure, hard to remove all plaque and calculus due to poor visibility Minimally invasive, no bleeding, reduced swelling, no stitches, bactericidal effect Periodontal Therapy Requires flapping gum tissue from teeth and bone, bloody, painful, long recovery time 2/25/2010 13
