transform oral health with the fotona lightwalker

A Dual-Wavelength Dental Laser for Minimally Invasive, Precise, and Efficient Treatment

Dental lasers have completely transformed the way periodontal procedures are performed, offering a myriad of advantages for both dentists and their patients. These innovative lasers, such as the remarkable Fotona LightWalker, have become an essential tool in the field of periodontology due to their unmatched speed and efficiency. With capabilities that include closed curettage (“deep cleanings”), gum tissue recontouring, gum pigmentation removal, crown lengthening, and more, lasers have become indispensable.

What sets Fotona apart is its dual-wavelength Er:YAG and Nd:YAG dental lasers, which are designed to cater to a wide range of laser-assisted periodontal procedures. This cutting-edge technology allows us to perform treatments that are minimally invasive, cost-effective, and highly precise. With Fotona lasers, we can achieve remarkable results while ensuring our patients experience minimal discomfort and enjoy speedy recovery times.

For treating periodontal disease, Fotona’s TwinLight® Periodontal Treatment (TPT) is a highly advanced and incredibly efficient solution. This comprehensive and minimally invasive periodontal therapy harnesses the extraordinary power of dentistry’s two most effective laser wavelengths: Er:YAG and Nd:YAG. By combining these two cutting-edge technologies, the TwinLight® approach offers wavelength-optimized treatments for periodontal therapy, including the remarkable WPT™ (Wavelength optimized Periodontal Therapy) technique. This revolutionary method creates the perfect conditions for healing periodontal tissues, ensuring the best possible outcome for patients. Not only does TPT effectively combat infection, it also plays a crucial role in reducing pocket depths, further enhancing the overall oral health of individuals.

Why Choose twinlight® laser treatment?

  • Minimally Invasive: The Fotona TwinLight® procedure is minimally invasive compared to traditional surgical gum treatments. It reduces the need for incisions, sutures, and drilling, leading to less discomfort for the patient and faster healing times.

  • Precision and Accuracy: The dual-wavelength laser system allows for precise and accurate tissue ablation, which is crucial in periodontal therapy. We can target and remove infected or damaged gum tissue while preserving healthy tissue.

  • Reduced Discomfort: Laser treatments are generally less painful than traditional surgery. Patients often experience minimal pain, swelling, and bleeding during and after the procedure.

  • Faster Healing: Because the procedure is less invasive and promotes minimal tissue damage, the healing process tends to be quicker. Patients can return to their normal routines sooner than with traditional surgical methods.

  • Sterilization: The laser energy effectively sterilizes the treated area, reducing the risk of infection. This can lead to better overall outcomes and reduced post-operative complications.

  • Less Bleeding: Laser procedures tend to result in less bleeding than traditional surgery because the laser simultaneously seals blood vessels as it cuts, reducing the need for sutures.

  • Improved Gum Health: The Fotona LightWalker TwinLight® Periodontal Procedure can promote gum reattachment and regeneration. It helps stimulate the production of collagen and elastin fibers, supporting the healing and strengthening of the gum tissue,

  • Reduced Post-Operative Discomfort: Patients often experience less post-operative discomfort, including pain and swelling, which can make the recovery period more manageable.

  • Minimized Risk: Laser technology reduces the risk of complications such as infections and damage to adjacent teeth or tissues.

 
 

The twinlight® Procedure

The TwinLight® procedure is performed in three simple steps:

  • Step 1: The Nd:YAG laser removes the diseased epithelial lining of the periodontal pocket and improves access to the root surface.

  • Step 2: The Er:YAG laser is used to thoroughly remove microbial biofilm and calculus from the root surface.

  • Step 3: The Nd:YAG laser energy is used to coagulate and promote the formation of a stable fibrin clot.
