laser therapy using the <strong>Waterlase</strong> MD “led to<br />
significant improvements” in bleeding on probing,<br />
probing depth, and “appeared to be advantageous<br />
when compared to SRP alone, due to more efficient<br />
attachment level restoration.” 6<br />

Deep Pocket Therapy<br />
with New Attachment<br />
using the <strong>Waterlase</strong> MD and Radial Firing Perio Tip <br />
For minimally invasive removal of subgingival<br />
inflamed tissue and calculus deposits.
“Deep Pocket Therapy is a highly effective, more<br />
aesthetic and more comfortable alternative to<br />
traditional surgical procedures for my patients.”<br />
Bret Dyer, Periodontist<br />
Sugar Land, TX<br />
Deep Pocket Therapy (DPT) with New Attachment using the <strong>Waterlase</strong> MD laser and<br />
patented Radial Firing Perio Tip (RFPT) is a minimally invasive, FDA-cleared, therapy<br />
for moderate to advanced gum disease that promotes cementum-mediated periodontal<br />
ligament new-attachment to the root surface in the absence of long junctional epithelium.<br />
The YSGG laser energy of the <strong>Waterlase</strong> MD is especially effective for minimally invasive<br />
removal of both subgingival inflamed tissue and calculus deposits, to prepare the pocket<br />
and surface of the tooth for healing and new attachment. The <strong>Waterlase</strong> MD has FDA<br />
clearance for both of these indications.<br />
The <strong>Waterlase</strong> MD will enhance your practice, distinguish you as a practitioner at the<br />
forefront, and give patients and referring dentists a minimally invasive option for many<br />
procedures. For enhanced clinical results, unmatched versatility, and technological<br />
superiority, the <strong>Waterlase</strong> MD Turbo YSGG laser is the proven treatment choice.<br />
The Total<br />
<strong>Periodontal</strong><br />
Laser solution<br />
Unlike most lasers historically used in periodontal therapy, the <strong>Waterlase</strong><br />
MD Turbo YSGG laser is a true all-tissue laser. It is indicated for use on soft<br />
tissue, bone and tooth structures, making it extremely versatile.*<br />
SurGErY<br />
Most periodontal lasers cut tissue using heat. The <strong>Waterlase</strong> MD combines<br />
YSGG laser energy and a patented spray of water (HydroPhotonics ) to<br />
cut soft tissue and bone without heat, with benefits reported such as less<br />
swelling and patient post-op sensitivity, for a better patient experience and<br />
greater case acceptance.<br />
In soft tissue mode, the 2,780 nm Er,Cr:YSGG <strong>Waterlase</strong> MD laser energy<br />
penetrates into tissues to seal blood vessels as it cuts, providing excellent<br />
hemostasis, which in turn provides you with a better field of vision during<br />
surgery.<br />
impLANtS<br />
If you place implants, the <strong>Waterlase</strong> MD can improve your productivity<br />
through a range of related applications:<br />
• Creating ideal emergence profile<br />
• Bone resection<br />
• Osteotomy<br />
• Implant recovery<br />
oSSEouS CrowN LENGthENiNG for SAmE DAY rEfErrALS<br />
The minimally invasive nature of the <strong>Waterlase</strong> MD YSGG laser can help<br />
minimize tissue displacement and flap preparation in osseous crown<br />
lengthening. It assists in performing an externally beveled gingivectomy,<br />
shaping the free gingival margin, troughing, and recontouring and<br />
smoothing bone. 4<br />

Clinically and<br />
Technically superior<br />
by Design<br />
The 2,780 nm Er,Cr:YSGG wavelength of the <strong>Waterlase</strong> MD was developed<br />
exclusively by Biolase for its superior effectiveness on all tissues you encounter.<br />
For ease of use, ergonomics, and performance it is the most technologically<br />
advanced laser system in periodontics:<br />
• Soft tissue mode for cutting soft tissue with excellent hemostasis<br />
• Hard tissue mode for cutting bone without thermal damage<br />
• Contra-angle, 360° rotatable handpiece for superior comfort and access to<br />
all areas of the oral cavity<br />
• MD Gold handpiece for accurate micro-surgical procedures and the MD<br />
Turbo handpiece for increased efficiency when cutting hard and soft tissues<br />
• Ultra-bright, shadow-free illumination and red aiming beam enhance<br />
visibility and tractability in the surgical field<br />
thE rADiAL firiNG pErio tip Our patented Radial Firing Perio Tip (RFPT) is superior to tips traditionally used<br />
by laser systems for periodontal therapy. The 14-mm long RFPT is based on<br />
Biolase’s patented Endolase tips but features a unique design that precisely<br />
tapers the end of the 500µm diameter tip. The result is primary radial emission<br />
of laser energy with a portion of straight emission, and better access to the<br />
narrow part of the periodontal pocket since the tip has no side edges.<br />
Compared to most tips (and fibers) that only emit straight laser energy, the<br />
RFPT’s radial energy provides more efficient irradiation of diseased or inflamed<br />
soft tissue as well as calculus deposits and is advantageous in treating<br />
moderate to advanced periodontal disease. And by decreasing the amount<br />
of straight energy emission, potential damage to the periodontal ligament is<br />
reduced when the tip is used vertically.<br />
Additionally, we also offer the most comprehensive selection of traditional<br />
straight firing tips for periodontal surgery, implant recovery, and osseous crown<br />
lengthening, to help you treat all of your patients’ needs.<br />
