No Compromise - Dentistry's Two BestLaser WavelengthsThe LightWalker models AT and DT come standard with dentistry’s two most effective laser wavelengths: Er:YAG and Nd:YAGfor no-compromise dentistry with a touch of the control screen.Universal Laser SystemIt is a well-established fact that different dental procedures require different laser wavelengths. Wavelength is importantbecause specific body tissues interact in different ways depending on the particular laser source. With the choice of twocomplementary wavelengths (in terms of their effect on tissues) LightWalker comes very close to being a “universal” laser.Practically all laser-assisted dental treatments can be performed with either the most highly absorbed Er:YAG laser wavelengthor the most homogeneously absorbed Nd:YAG laser wavelength.TwinLight® Treatment ConceptThe combination of the two best wavelengths in one laser system enables practitioners to perform not only singlewavelengthbut also dual-wavelength (TwinLight®) treatments. Utilizing both wavelengths in a treatment makes optimumuse of the unique laser-tissue interaction characteristics of each wavelength. For example, Nd:YAG laser energy is superiorfor coagulation and deep disinfection while Er:YAG is uniquely efficient at ablating hard and soft tissues. Combined, they candramatically improve the outcome of laser assisted treatments, guaranteeing maximum safety and efficacy.Highest Power and Largest Pulse DurationRangeIn LightWalker, both “gold standard” laser wavelengthsare produced by solid crystal lasers that can outperformany diode or other dental laser in terms of peak power andthe range of pulse durations.Fast efficient cutting with unmatched patientcomfortNo other lasers cut as fast as LightWaker lasers for hardand soft tissues.Precise tissue surgery with simultaneousdisinfectionThe homogeneous absorption of the Nd:YAG laser in softtissue results in precise tissue vaporization with simultaneouscoagulation. Additionally, up to 1000× higher pulsepower compared to other lasers provides superior disinfection.ABLATION SPEEDIn enamel (10 -2 mm 3 /sec)0161284016,6LightWalker Er:YAGAblation speed: Er:YAG vs. high-speed drill and other lasers12Highspeed Handpiece5,7StandardLaserDISINFECTION EFFICACYIn endodontic treatment (%)091%Nd:YAG 1064 nm63%Diode 810 nmMeasured ata dentinal depthof 1000 µm13%Diode 980 nmDisinfection efficacy: Nd:YAG vs. other lasers

TouchWhite ® Laser Assisted ToothWhiteningThe TouchWhite® patentpending tooth whiteningmakes use of the fact that theEr:YAG laser wavelength hasan absorption peak in waterwhich is the major componentof aqueous bleachinggels. This eliminates the need for any additional absorbingparticles in the bleaching gels. More importantly, takinginto account thermal burden considerations, the Touch-White® procedure represents the most effective and leastinvasive laser-assisted tooth whitening method possible.Due to its high absorption in bleaching gels, the Er:YAGlaser beam is fully absorbed in the gel and does notEr:YAG laseraStandard laserWith TouchWhite® whitening only the gel is heated (a) while withstandard laser whitening the entire tooth is heated (b).bpenetrate to the hard tissue or the pulp. All of the laserenergy is thus effectively used for the heating of the gel.There is no direct heating of the dental tissue and the pulp,as is the case with other laser-assisted whitening methods.There is also no risk of accidentally damaging the hard dentaltissue as the laser fluence of every laser pulse is set to besignificantly below the ablation threshold for dental tissues.As a consequence, the procedure can be performed witha minimal undesirable thermal burden on the tooth, andthe tooth whitening speed can be safely increased by 5 – 10times.WHITENING TIME (s)010008006004002000TouchWhiteStandard laserWithout laserTouchWhite® Tooth Whitening substantially shortensthe whitening process.LightWalkerRangeEr:YAGNd:YAGSystem AT DT ST-EBasic Standard Advanced Basic Standard AdvancedPower20 W8 W 10 W 18 W 8 W 10 W 18 WIntegrated spray ü ü ü ü üEnergy 1500 mJ 500 mJ 500 mJ 900 mJ 500 mJ 500 mJ 900 mJOperational modesMAX, QSP (up to 120 Hz)SSP, MSP, SP, LP, VLPSSP, MSP, SP, LP, VLPSSP, MSP, SP, LP, VLPOptical delivery OPTOflex 7–mirror arm 7–mirror armPower 15 W 8 WOperational modesMSP, SP, VLP15 ms, 25 msMSP, SP, VLPOptical delivery Dual fiber system Single fiber systemAT models additionaly include scanner-ready mode, automatic handpiece detection, quick-disconnect Er:YAG handpieces, advancableand disposable Nd:YAG fiber feed handpieces, heated water spray for enhanced patient comfort, and optional green pilot beam.

Supreme Clinical ResultsShorter and More Effective TreatmentsWith LightWalker, procedures are typically shorter, easier toperform and more effective. Laser treatments are by natureminimally invasive, and Lightwalker takes this concept to anew level.Patient ComfortWorking with LightWalker is less stressful for the patientbecause pain and bleeding are minimal if any. LightWalkerlasers are so gentle for cavity preparations and mostsoft-tissue procedures that patients rarely require anyanaesthetic. Laser light allows you to work in a non-contactway and without drilling noise, which is far more comfortablefor patients, especially children. LightWalker also allowsyou to achieve simultaneous disinfection and prevention ofcross-contamination.Unmatched FlexibilityThe Nd:YAG laser source is ideal for root canal disinfection,soft tissue crown lengthening and numerous other applications.And LightWalker’s Er:YAG laser is compatible witha set of over 20 specialized fiber tips, expertly designed tooffer an additional range of lucrative, high quality treatmentsin endodontics, periodontics and implant recovery,areas you may otherwise have to refer out to specialists.Courtesy of MDATG, LLCIntact collagen fibres afterlaser treatment.Preserved collagen fibrils ofthe intertubular dentin at theentrances to the dentinal tubules.After endodontic laser treatmentthe dentinal tubules are disinfectedand fully open.The Technology Behind theBest Dental Laser in the WorldThe development of LightWalker is based on Fotona’s 45 years of experience in laser technology. The system hastechnologically superior laser elements that make it the highest performance, best made laser system in the world:Variable Square Pulse (VSP) TechnologyFotona’s VSP technology sets the precision and safety ofdental laser treatments on a higher level.
