No Compromise - Dentistry's Two BestLaser Wavelengths<strong>The</strong> 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 th<strong>at</strong> 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 tre<strong>at</strong>ments can be performed with either the most highly absorbed Er:YAG laser wavelengthor the most homogeneously absorbed Nd:YAG laser wavelength.TwinLight® Tre<strong>at</strong>ment Concept<strong>The</strong> combin<strong>at</strong>ion of the two best wavelengths in one laser system enables practitioners to perform not only singlewavelengthbut also dual-wavelength (TwinLight®) tre<strong>at</strong>ments. Utilizing both wavelengths in a tre<strong>at</strong>ment makes optimumuse of the unique laser-tissue interaction characteristics of each wavelength. For example, Nd:YAG laser energy is superiorfor coagul<strong>at</strong>ion and deep disinfection while Er:YAG is uniquely efficient <strong>at</strong> abl<strong>at</strong>ing hard and soft tissues. Combined, they candram<strong>at</strong>ically improve the outcome of laser assisted tre<strong>at</strong>ments, guaranteeing maximum safety and efficacy.Highest Power and Largest Pulse Dur<strong>at</strong>ionRangeIn LightWalker, both “gold standard” laser wavelengthsare produced by solid crystal lasers th<strong>at</strong> can outperformany diode or other dental laser in terms of peak power andthe range of pulse dur<strong>at</strong>ions.Fast efficient cutting with unm<strong>at</strong>ched p<strong>at</strong>ientcomfortNo other lasers cut as fast as LightWaker lasers for hardand soft tissues.Precise tissue surgery with simultaneousdisinfection<strong>The</strong> homogeneous absorption of the Nd:YAG laser in softtissue results in precise tissue vaporiz<strong>at</strong>ion with simultaneouscoagul<strong>at</strong>ion. Additionally, up to 1000× higher pulsepower compared to other lasers provides superior disinfection.ABLATION SPEEDIn enamel (10 -2 mm 3 /sec)0161284016,6LightWalker Er:YAGAbl<strong>at</strong>ion speed: Er:YAG vs. high-speed drill and other lasers12Highspeed Handpiece5,7StandardLaserDISINFECTION EFFICACYIn endodontic tre<strong>at</strong>ment (%)091%Nd:YAG 1064 nm63%Diode 810 nmMeasured <strong>at</strong>a dentinal depthof 1000 µm13%Diode 980 nmDisinfection efficacy: Nd:YAG vs. other lasers
