Hi Dan,

Removal of diseased or inflamed soft tissue in the periodontal pocket (Diode)
Removal of diseased or inflamed soft tissue in the periodontal pocket to improve clinical gingival index, gingival bleeding index, probe depth, attachment loss and tooth mobility. (Nd:YAG)

I am attaching both FDA Clearances for your reference.

thanks for the reply. I hear you and totally undestand the FDA clearances.
Perhaps I wasn’t clear in my previous 2 posts. Let me try again to convey my conern.
On page 25 of the dental town magazine you guys have a chart listed. On the chart you have an asterick next to sulcualr debridement which has 3 of 4 lasers checked off. The asterick reads “Removal of diseased or inflammed soft tissue in the peridontal pocket to improve clinical indices including gingival index, gingival bleeding index, probe depth, attachemtn loss and tooth mobility.”
Now perhaps I am the only one but to me it seems the 3 lasers with the check mark refer to the asterick.
Am I reading it the correct way??/ Perhpas I am confused…
Please help me understand.
DAN
