Introduction 
To efficiently remove tissues it is imperative to understand the nature of the 

 device. 

Please review this section carefully, practice on model tissues, and attend a diode laser 
training session before using this device in a clinical situation.  
 
Table of Indications for Use 
Use of the 

device

 

may be appropriate for incision, excision, vaporization, ablation 

and coagulation of oral soft tissues including marginal and inter-dental gingival and epithelial 
lining of free gingiva and the following specific indications: 
 
►Excisional and incisional biopsies

 

 

►Exposure of unerupted teeth

 

 

►Fibroma removal

 

 

►Frenectomy

 

 

►Frenotomy

 

 

►Gingival troughing for crown impressions

 

 

►Gingivectomy

 

 

►Gingivoplasty

 

 

►Gingival incision and excision

 

 

►Hemostasis

 

 

►Implant recovery

 

 

►Incision and drainage of abscess

 

 

►Leukoplakia

 

 

►Operculectomy

 

 

►Oral papillectomies

 

 

►Pulpotomy

 

 

►Pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal 
therapy

 

 

►Reduction of gingival hypertrophy

 

 

►Soft tissue crown lengthening

 

 

►Treatment of canker sores, herpetic and 
aphthous ulcers of the oral mucosa

 

 

►Vestibuloplasty

 

 

►Tissue retraction for impression

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

►Laser soft tissue curettage

 

 

►Laser removal of diseased, infected, 
inflamed and necrosed soft tissue within the 
periodontal pocket

 

 

►Sulcular debridement (removal of 
diseased, infected, inflamed and necrosed 
soft tissue in the periodontal pocket to 
improve clinical indices including gingival 
index, gingival bleeding index, probe depth, 
attachment loss and tooth mobility.)

 

 

►Light activation for bleaching materials for 
teeth whitening

 

 

►Laser-assisted whitening/bleaching of teeth

 

 

►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.
