4 reasons to consider adding Zolar's Photon soft tissue diode laser to your practice

From versatility to gentler treatments, the Photon soft tissue diode laser from Zolar offers many benefits.

The Photon soft tissue diode laser from Zolar is a three-watt laser said to be well suited for dental surgery and the improvement of esthetics. The Photon features a 810 nm wavelength, continuous and pulse modes, is completely wireless, has a 3-4 hour battery life and has the ability to program 21 treatment presets and four customized presets.

1. Gentler treatments: The Photon works on patients and causes little-to-no pain, depending on the patient. The laser works with minimal discomfort and bleeding-producing very few incisions requiring stitches-which makes the Photon optimal for dentists who frequently work on sensitive patients. The Photon’s laser also helps with post-op healing and decreases inflammation and patient recovery time. Additionally, the pain-reducing nature of the Photon greatly limits the need for anesthetics.

2. iI’s versatile: The laser reportedly can be used for a variety of operations, including removal of diseased, infected, inflamed and necrosed soft tissue within the periodontal pocket; laser periodontal; laser soft tissue curettage; removal of edematous tissue; sulcular debridement; and dental intraoral soft tissue general, oral maxilla-facial and cosmetic surgery.

3. User-friendly: The Photon features a touch-screen monitor, reportedly providing easy navigation. It is password protected, meaning a key isn’t needed for operation. The handpiece is flexible and easy-to-use, and the Photon comes with bendable disposable tips for easy maneuverability during procedures.

4. Added Plus: The Photon also features a foot-pedal control for easy, hands-free operation.
