"Dentists will now be able to offer significantly improved patient care with the OpusDent Erbium products. The Erbium laser has been used for several years in hard-tissue applications -- such as caries removal and cavity preparation -- replacing the high-speed drill, which bothers so many patients. They will now be able to treat a variety of oral lesions, biopsies, inflamed soft tissue in the periodontal pockets and to provide soft-tissue crown lengthening as well as periodontal and endodontic procedures," said Yacha Sutton, Lumenis president and CEO.
