    Just talked with a dentist in CF that was told that an office was removing alloys with the waterlase. Not numbing with the laser but removing the alloy. The key was the doc said that you had to know what you were doing or you distroyed the trunk fiber. They also said vaporized the alloy.
    You guys hear anything like this? What do you think?

    Must be a new kind of alloy that contains water particles for them to be able to vaporize it.

    :biggrin:

    I think that story is even wilder than the one about Glenn in a Biolase shirt.

    I know someone had to have been pretty good with the imaging software to do that.
    I have been thinking about this vaporizing. As we know it is not possible. But what if the are cutting the alloy out. Like in removing a post. Ditching the alloy out by removing a thin layer of enamel. Then just disloge it.
