Waterlase iPLus

Waterlase iPlus with the fractional handpiece is indicated for use in dermatology for skin resurfacing.

Waterlase iPlus when used with the non-fractional handpieces is indicated for use in the following oral hard and soft tissue dental applications:

Waterlase laser removal of porcelain and ceramic crowns and veneers

General Hard Tissue Indications (for use on adult and pediatric patients)
- Class I, II, III, IV and V cavity preparation
- Caries removal
- Hard tissue surface roughening or etching
- Enameloplasty, excavation of pits and fissures for placement of sealants

Root Canal Hard Tissue Indications
- Tooth preparation to obtain access to root canal
- Root canal preparation including enlargement
- Root canal debridement and cleaning

Root Canal Disinfection
- Laser root canal disinfection after endodontic treatment

Endodontic Surgery (Root Amputation) Indications
- Flap preparation — incision of soft tissue to prepare a flap and expose the bone
- Cutting bone to prepare a window access to the apex (apices) of the root(s)
- Apicoectomy — amputation of the root end
- Root end preparation for retrofill amalgam or composite
- Removal of pathological tissues (i.e., cysts, neoplasm or abscess) and hyperplastic tissues (i.e., granulation tissue) from around the apex

NOTE: Any tissue growth (i.e., cyst, neoplasm or other lesions) must be submitted to a qualified laboratory for histopathological evaluation.

Bone Surgical Indications
- Cutting, shaving, contouring and resection of oral osseous tissues (bone)
- Osteotomy

Soft Tissue Indications including Pulpal Tissues (for use on adult and pediatric patients)
- Incision, excision, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of oral soft tissues including:
  - Excisional and incisional biopsies
  - Exposure of unerupted teeth
  - Fibroma removal
  - Flap preparation — incision of soft tissue to prepare a flap and expose the bone
  - Flap preparation — incision of soft tissue to prepare a flap and expose unerupted teeth (hard and soft tissue impactions)
  - Frenectomy and frenotomy
  - Gingival troughing for crown impressions
  - Gingivectomy
  - Gingivoplasty
  - Gingival incision and excision
  - Hemostasis
  - Implant recovery
  - Incision and drainage of abscesses
  - Laser soft tissue curettage of the post-extraction tooth sockets and the periapical area during apical surgery
  - Leukoplakia
  - Operculectomy
  - Oral papillectomies
  - Pulpotomy
  - Pulp extirpation
  - Pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal therapy
  - Root canal debridement and cleaning
  - Reduction of gingival hypertrophy
  - Soft tissue crown lengthening
  - Treatment of canker sores, herpetic and aphthous ulcers of the oral mucosa
  - Vestibuloplasty
  - Removal of pathological tissues (i.e., cysts, neoplasm or abscess) and hyperplastic tissues (i.e., granulation tissue) from around the apex

NOTE: Any tissue growth (i.e., cyst, neoplasm or other lesions) must be submitted to a qualified laboratory for histopathological eva

Waterlase iPlus utilizes an Er, Cr YSGG (2780nm) solid-state laser and water atomization technology for hard and soft tissue incision, excision, ablation, vaporization and coagulation of soft and hard tissue. The laser consists of a console that houses the laser head, power supply, cooling system, micro-processor and electronics, a footswitch which activates the laser, and a fiber optic cable for delivery of laser energy through a handpiece to the treatment site. A fine water spray is also emitted from the handpiece to cool and hydrate the tissue. The laser is controlled through a touch screen display which serves as the User Interface.
