    80 yo male presents with attrition on mandibular premolars and anteriors. #21, 27 and 29 were prepared without local anesthesia using a 2940nm Er:YAG laser. Patient wore laser eye protection.

    Laser parameters were 120 mJ @ 30Hz, 300 usec PD through a 600 um quartz tip angled 80 degrees. Application time approximately 5 minutes. Distilled water was used as an irrigant.

    Teeth were restored by common techniques using a self-etching bonding agent, flowable composite on dentin and finally a posterior composite.

    Patient was amazed by the laser. Total time including photos was one hour. Fee was &#36480 US.

    Thank you, Ron.

    I have a Biolase Waterlase. We are currently in the process of evaluating the DELight by Hoya ConBio.

    Hi Allen,

    Nice photos and treatment.

    How do you find the Delight so far?

    I got mine for a couple of days now. Mostly soft tissue treatment: labial frenectomy, lingual frencetomy, and aphthous ulcer.

    Allen: CLAP CLAP CLAP………

    Great pics and treatment. Absolutely brilliant stuff.

    These lower incisors and attrition areas are great to treat with the laser.

    REally nice case…….

    Thanks Andrew and Glenn.

    Andrew, the DELight appears to be a well designed Erbium. I particulary like the small profile handpiece with the curved tips which allow excellent visualization of the preparation.

    Hi Allen & Glenn,

    I concur with your assessment, Allen.

    It’s not called Viewmax for nothing.

    I did some hard tissue treatment today. Really enjoying it so far. The patients are pretty as well.

    The patients are pretty happy that is. Although some of them are pretty as well.

    I use DELight since more than a year an a half and I can say that it’s a pleasure to work with.I do more than 50 % of my day with that laser without anesthesia and it’s a relaxing to see so much people walking out of the office and smile. The new 90 degrees tip is a must for all the teeth including the molars
