Hi there: gonna get some sleep. In a similar vein to the last post. Removed an old amalgam with anesthetic as per patients request and at end decided to use my standard 30 Hz and 70 mj and guess what I saw….

A little bit of clear serous fluid over the etch. I dried it off and it appeared again. I originally thought it was water in the air/water syringe, but nope, it was a slight laser exposure. I etched it and it stopped and placed bond overtop……nothing else.

I advised the patient and showed her these exact same photos on the TV to warn her of the exposure.

Placed a resin and will wait and see.

Kinda cool to see how much detail the scope shows you yet every once in a while I still get caught with an exposure.

Cya

Sleep………zzzzzzzzzzzzz……….
