    What a Monday. I feel like the gunslinger that had to give up his Colt before going into town. Last Friday I did a Apthous ulcer on my wife and it stung. Never had before. Then today it just seemed to cut slower. Then The popping sound became less loud. I changed tips. No change. Changed handpiece and tips , no change then it strated to work. Tried the .25W on wrist and OUCH. The trunk fiber looks fine, the tips look fine, the mirror in the handpieces don’t. They have a whitish to gray cast in a splatter pattern. Soo off they go to be polished. Seems what happened is when they are wipped down prior to sterlization the tips are not being removed and the caps not placed. The liquid is backflowing on to the mirror. Man!!!!!

    In other words you sent your handpieces to Biolase? Are they sending you replacement handpieces tomorrow morning?

    Hi folks: I had someone in recently who was a big Biolase user and they were astonished at how little care I use when changing tips. Other things like using it close to amalgam or gold was also a shock.

    Perhaps it would be good for Biolase users to post some of the concerns that users should be aware of so that they dont damage tips or mirrors or trunk fibers.

    I keep hearing of little things and I know Mark Colonna has an extensive list.

    Would it be possible to post this .

    I am sure some of it must apply to Delight or Opus users.

    Al, Yep! Biolase got a new handpiece to me this morning. Back at it again! Gee if I had a 2nd laser this would not have been a problem!

    Hi Dave,
    If you do have a 2nd laser , would you go for the biolase again, or delight?
