The new hard-tissue laser is FDA-cleared to perform cavity preparations, bone surgery and a host of soft-tissue procedures. It is much smaller in size and weight and half the price of some hard-tissue lasers on the market.

"Our vision was to make dental lasers affordable for everyone and we've succeeded," said Alan Miller, CEO and founder of AMD LASERS in a recent press release. “Our Picasso soft-tissue lasers have dominated over every other dental laser company since we brought them to market and there is no doubt we will do the same in the hard-tissue world as well. We launched Picasso and Picasso Lite with the vision to make laser dentistry affordable for every dental practice, ensuring a laser is placed in every operatory in every office around the world. With the new hard-tissue, we are continuing this mindset, by providing affordable total laser solutions to the general practitioner.
