The Waterlase MD dental laser system is a device used to perform a variety of dental soft and hard tissue indications. For hard tissue procedures the Waterlase MD uses the Erbium,Chromium:Yttrium,Scandium,Gallium Garnet (Er,Cr.YSGG) laser in combination with advanced water atomization spray technology to cut, remove, shave, contour, roughen and etch tissues. Soft tissue procedures are performed using two different modes of operation. H and S. where direct Er.Cr. YSGG laser energy is applied to incise, excise or ablate these tissues. For soft tissue procedures the water spray is applied for hydration. cooling or to keep tissues and the field of view clean. For hard tissue applications the spray is part of the tissue removing process as well as hydration, cooling and keeping tissues and field of view clean. A flexible fiber optic terminated into the handpiece delivers the Waterlase®MD laser energy to the end fiber tip and target. A visible aiming light emitted from the handpiece's distal end pinpoints the area of treatment. Three fiber optic ports provide illumination from the handpiece to the tissue site in addition to the center beam emitting source. In both hard and soft tissue applications the power output, pulse duration, repetition rate (frequency) and air and water flow rates are adjustable to specific user requirements. The spot size and spot geometry can also be varied by changing tips which include different diameters and end configurations.

The Waterlase C100 dental laser system is a diverse device utilized to perform a variety of dental applications. For hard tissue procedures the Waterlase® C100 uses the Erbium, Chromium, Yttrium, Scandium, Gallium Gamet (Er,Cr.YSGG) laser in combination with advanced water atomization spray technology to cut, remove, roughen and etch tissues. Soft tissue procedures are performed using a different mode of operation where direct Er, Cr.YSGG laser energy is applied to incise, excise or ablate these tissues. In soft tissue procedures the water spray is applied for hydration, cooling or to keep tissues clean. For hard tissue applications the spray is part of the tissue removing process as well as hydration, cooling and keeping tissues clean. A flexible fiberoptic handpiece delivers the Waterlase® C100 laser energy. A visible light emitted from the handpiece distal end pinpoints the area of treatment.

The ezlase™ diode system emits energy in the near- infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for a temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm, minor sprains and strains, and minor muscular back pain; the temporary increase in local blood circulation; the temporary relaxation of muscle.

The ezlase™ diode laser system, was cleared for dental soft tissue indications under KQ61898 and K083069. The system uses a Gallium Aluminum Arsenide (GaAlA) and/or an Indium Gallium Arsenide Phosphorus (InGaAsP) solid state laser diode to emit infrared laser energy which is transmitted via a flexible fiberoptic cable to a handpiece that emits the energy to the targeted site. A visible light is emitted at the same time to visually identify the treatment location.
