The most advanced pulsed mode dental laser in dentistry

Self Adjusting Short Laser Pulses For Precision, Control, Patient Comfort and Disinfection.

Renowned laser physicist Dr George Bekov has developed the most technologically advanced dental diode laser on the market. Years of medical community research influenced Dr Bekov to create a pulse mode using short pulses with a duration of 10 millionths of a second and an amplitude of 6-7 watts. These energy levels are high enough to cause coagulation of surface tissue and have bacteriocidal properties. Spectralase Elite automatically adjusts the pulse interval depending on the wattage setting. The higher the wattage, the longer the interval, allowing time for the tissue cooling. The self adjusting pulse will deliver an average power that insures patient comfort and prevents tissue charring.

Our research and clinical experience has led us to conclude this combination of variable pulse width and pulse interval is optimal for laser performance and tissue health. The wavelength has also been upgraded from 810 nm to 980 nm because studies prove 980 nm light is absorbed more efficiently at the tissue surface with depth penetration 5 times less than with the 810 nm laser beam.

Even with shorter pulses and higher energy of 6-7 watts; the average power of the GentlePulse mode is much lower than Continuous Wave or standard on/off pulsed lasers. Standard “old fashioned lasers” with 10-25hz 50% duty cycle pulses are very close to continuous wave and provide a very slight advantage over CW mode.

“We have been using the Spectralase diode laser now for over two years, and I can safely say that it has been a delight to work with. Having practiced orthodontics the past 35 years, and having purposefully avoided some of the unpleasant aspects of surgical patient treatments. I have been amazed how clean, painless, and effective laser surgery is in comparison. We have expanded our treatment regimen to include many periodontal and surgical procedures for our orthodontic patients that improve our results and reduce time in treatment...

Q: Are all dental diode lasers the same?

A: No. Lasers with similar technical specifications could be considered the same if they...

“We are thrilled with our Spectrum Laser. We use it almost every day, because it makes us more efficient. We liked it so much we bought a 2nd one for our satellite office.”
Dr. Bob Fry, Overland Park, KS

“I have been using my Spectralase diode laser for three years and love it. The product quality and personal touch with training was outstanding. Initially, I was nervous about using a laser in combination with my orthodontics but now I couldn’t practice without it. A laser is a wonderful adjunct to treatment and I would definitely recommend Spectralase. ”
