jetsfanSpectatorI have been hearing more and more about laser smoking cessation. Apparently an 810 nm laser is employed at selective acupuncture points. Any LDFer’s doing this or know anything about it? This would be a wonderful service to offer our patients.

tschoenSpectatordid one of these today on one that did not respond to retreatment…fill looked great….I had on my schedule to do an apicoectomy…patient was very pleased to not have to have “surgery” we will see
Kenneth LukSpectatorHi,
Anyone tried out the MirroScope ? Your verdict please.

Lee AllenSpectatorJust a few points of confusion here, at least on my end of things. Perhaps someone can take a crack at explaining this.
How does any of the water spray reach thru a fistula to the apex. I do not see how. Which means the treatment is without added water. Are we to relying on fast capillary action to carry a quantum of water to the apex for the Erbiums to not just cook the tissue.
If we are depending on the resident moisture at the apical end, how do we know when it is gone and it is time to be done?
It would seem that to not be hit and miss would require that we consider something additional:
Uncooled Erbium chars and hurt postop. They do their best work with water.
A apical wrap around lesion will partially hide from access through a fistulous opening with an end active tip.
Would it not be necessary to treat the root surface to ablate the bacterial infiltrate to render the apex sterile? Do we have access without a flap?I am confused why this works.
BenchwmerSpectatorLee,
I have both lasers. The treatment Case Studies I posted are all done w/ the PerioLase pulsed Nd:YAG.
I agree the Erbium would not be the laser to perform this procedure. Fear of damage to the root surface and bone, no penetration into the tissues to kill bacteria.

AnonymousSpectatorLee, ndyag for me too. Sorry I didn’t make that clear.
BenchwmerSpectatorI’ll sell you one. Hardly used.
I wanted it for making videos, viewing on a screen in a classroom laser procedures and making hard copy photos.
Not enough resolution.
Great for heads up viewing on plasma screen.
Jeff
Kenneth LukSpectatorThanks Jeff,
I was thinking of using it in the same line too.
So I’ll give it a miss.
Tried out the Camsight at the ALD. Great resolutions and depth of view but expensive!

cerecdocSpectatorWhen adjusting the patient will give you a better fitting denture, with better retention than whittling on the denture would give. Otherwise those alveoloplasty codes would not be there.
whitertthSpectatorOptic have improved dramatically…… Selling like hotcakes thru Patterson in Canada…Reconsider it and give it anotherlook…..Jeff…Call Kobi garfinkel VP Miras maybe he will upgrade you with new optics at no chage….
BenchwmerSpectatorRon,
This is the second unit. The first was worse.
This is the Pro 200. It has never worked for me.
I disconnected it in October and I’m still waiting on resolution.
Thanks.
Jeff
csroseSpectatorWow!! Terrific photography!! I am a new periolase guy interested in soft tissue treatments. It is nice to see you erbium guys hard at work. I will try to document my cases as well as you have. Thanks for the inspiration

DinoDMDSpectatorDoes anyone know if it is in fact possible to regenerate bone with a diode? Has anyone else experienced this?
There has been some talk lately that this is in fact possible using a specific technique and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows anything about this. Thanks
HubertSpectatorGlenn,
kinda late but still – thanks for the wonderful workshop in Tucson- now I have seen your set-up and caught a glimpse of how you work- a role model definitely! Actually I was so impressed that I will try to get a global scope and camera so I can eventually document my work better.
Keep up the great work as a pacer for better dentistry!
Hubert
Kenneth LukSpectatorWhat are the resolutions for video and pictures ?
The brochure I get shows the Pro200 and view 300
